Ryegate Nursing Services

The neurology nursing service based in Ryegate Children's Centre is made up of a team of specialist nurses who work closely with the consultant paediatric neurologists. The nursing team provides a wide range of support and advice to families of children with complex neurological disorders both within Sheffield Children’s Hospital, the community and district.
