We provide a service to children and their families with a wide range of special dietary needs in the community. This includes children struggling to gain weight, allergic to foods, needing to be fed artificially or with a range of conditions such as diabetes.  Our aim is to provide patient-centred holistic care.

We accept referrals from local GPs and consultants at University Hospitals of North Midlands, for children and young people at the Royal Stoke and County Hospitals.
