Complex Care Clinic

Overview

Our clinic provides comprehensive care, which is complementary to your child’s primary care provider. We provide care coordination and service navigation through our program.

The frequency of visits varies according to current needs but is generally every six months for a comprehensive review and assessment.

What To Expect During Your Visit

The clinic is held in Clinic Crossing. Come through front reception at SSCY Centre, and go to Clinic Crossing for check in. Please ask at front reception if you need directions. Your child will have their weight and height measured. You will then be taken into one of our clinic rooms. Our team will assess your child, answer any questions, and make a plan with you. Appointments are 60 minutes long.

Meet Your Team

Our team includes a complex care pediatrician and nurse clinician. Our clinic runs simultaneously to our feeding clinic so you may also see a dietitian and occupational therapist during your assessment. We will complete a comprehensive review of your child’s medical conditions and recent medical assessments. We will also complete a comprehensive examination. We review follow-ups and up coming appointments and help with coordination and booking as needed. After clinic a comprehensive care plan will be completed and sent to you for review. Once complete we will also share with all the applicable health care team members.

How To Access The Program

Our program is for children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders and functional limitations in eating and/or breathing who are not followed in another multidisciplinary clinic. In addition, children must meet criteria in areas of family needs, chronic conditions, healthcare usage and functional limitations.

Referrals are made by a primary health care provider or hospital on our RCC Clinic Intake Form. We will review the referral in detail and complete our Complex Care Intake Form to determine if your child meets our eligibility criteria. If your child is accepted into the program a comprehensive medical history review and initial comprehensive care plan will be developed. An initial appointment will be booked. Waiting times are variable and depend on the number of children enrolled in the program as there are capacity limitations.

Program Funder
