About the NENC-CHDN

We listen and act on the views of those who use and care about our CHD services! The NENC-CHDN covers the whole lifetime pathway of care including prenatal diagnosis, maternity, obstetric and neonatal services, children’s services, transition, adult congenital cardiac services and palliative care. It provides a single network for both children and adults. The network’s primary aim is to bring together clinicians, commissioners, patients and parent representatives and other stakeholders to meet the NHS England Standards. Whilst there is a small team coordinating the network itself, our success is dependent on the commitment and energy of all those involved with CHD services across the region
