A child with medical complexity is defined as one who has complex chronic health conditions associated with significant functional status limitations requiring increased expertise, health services, and resources¹.

Children with medical complexity:

• Stay in hospital eight times longer than other paediatric populations⁴
• Are at higher risk of medical error⁵

This curriculum focuses on children with medical complexity and includes 12 one-hour sessions that is offered monthly. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Sialorrhea and Respiratory related complications
• Feeding related issues
• An Interdisciplinary Approach to Care
• Other common co-morbidities/conditions (e.g. pain, neurogenic bladder, epilepsy, spasticity, hypotonia, etc)
• Support & Resources for children with complexities and their families
