Adult and Paediatric
Adult and Paediatric nursing and complex care
Shawstone Group is a leading provider of high-quality nursing and complex care staff for both children and adults in the UK. We can shortlist the right staff to provide bespoke care tailored to each patient’s needs, which may include respiratory support, ventilator and tracheostomy care, PEG feeding, airway management, and more.
We work with healthcare organisations, and private clinics, helping to deliver complex care for children and adults that is compassionate, professional, safe, and person-centred. We believe that everyone, no matter their age or gender, or the complexity of their health needs, has the right to access person-centred care delivered to the highest standard – in any setting.
Complex care for adults
Our adult-focused complex care services help you find the right nurse-led support for those who have long-term and high-acuity health needs. We help adults live a life that’s independent and dignified, working closely with both healthcare facilities. Our nurse-led approach is tailored to each individual’s clinical needs where we provide complete support for both complex and long-term health needs.
Complex care for children
Our child-focused complex care services offer nurse-led support for children with complex care needs, delivering safe, professional, and reliable care at a complex care health facility or the patient’s setting, should they choose. We shortlist the most skilled, experienced, and compassionate complex care paediatric nurses who ensure that each child receives personalised care delivered to the highest levels of safety and well-being. Our skilled personnel are well-versed in complex neurological, respiratory, and feeding support, delivering personalised care to promote comfort, safety, and development.
Neurological management
At Shawstone Group, we are fully aware of the unique and often difficult situations individuals with neurological conditions face, along with the tailored complex care they need. Our neurological management staff can support individuals with a range of neurological conditions through high-quality nurse-led care, be it in the comfort of their setting.
Neurological conditions require consistent support and can be fraught with challenges, making it all the more important for neurological healthcare facilities, and clinics to hire staff that is fully adept in dealing with and managing a broad range of neurological conditions. The expert nurses we provide have undergone the latest competency assessments, ensuring that only the highest and safest level of complex care is provided throughout each patient’s journey.
Tracheostomy, ventilated care, and airway management
A tracheostomy can be a life-changing procedure, allowing the affected individuals to breathe normally. However, the success of the procedure can only be truly gauged through the care received during and after it. As such, tracheostomy patients have complex care needs which need to be met by someone who is highly skilled, experienced, and compassionate, providing responsive care to ensure optimal comfort, safety, and quality of life.
Our tracheostomy care support staff supports both adults and children, helping them manage respiratory and/or muscular disorders. Whether your patient or loved one is someone recovering after surgery or requires ongoing, consistent care, our specialised complex care staff can be deployed on a temporary or permanent basis.
Whether you clients or loved one has undergone invasive or non-invasive surgery, our ventilation care staff can support them in managing a variety of related health conditions, including traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, and neurological disorders. They are exceptionally trained and experienced in working alongside therapists, pulmonologists, and nurses, helping patients regain independence, comfort, and improve their quality of life.
If you’re looking for specialised complex care staff to support individuals with breathing difficulties, where airway and respiratory needs must be met to improve comfort, health, and safety, let us know and we will arrange the right staff without delay.
Spinal cord injury and post-surgery management
A spinal cord injury followed by a successful surgery or rehabilitative process can be a life-changing experience, affecting not only independence and mobility, but nearly every aspect of daily life.
