Abstract

This article describes how a children's home care service operates as part of a general paediatric service within an acute NHS trust. Although a debate exists about whether a home care service should be set up as part of a community or acute trust, there are advantages and drawbacks for staff within either system. The authors believe that children benefit regardless of where the service is based.
