St Oswald’s Children’s Unit is registered to provide specialist residential short breaks for children who have progressive health conditions that are likely to result in shortened life expectancy.

Some of the children will not live to adulthood and others will live to early adulthood. The children are very severely disabled too. All of the children have high care support needs and require supervision from registered nurses.
