Children’s Health
Caring for your child through every stage of growing up, from newborn checks and immunisations to everyday illnesses, development and teenage health.
Care for every stage of childhood
Children’s health needs change as they grow. Our GPs provide family-focused care for babies, children and teenagers, with time to listen to both you and your child.
Whether you have a routine health concern or something that has suddenly come up, we can help assess your child and guide you on the next steps.
A comfortable, family-focused approach
We understand that visiting the doctor can sometimes be stressful for children. We aim to create a welcoming environment where children and parents feel comfortable asking questions and discussing concerns.
How we can help
Our GPs provide a broad range of healthcare for babies, children and teenagers.
Baby & newborn checks
Routine checks including the 6-week baby check, with attention to growth, feeding, development and general wellbeing.
Childhood immunisations
Routine childhood vaccinations to help keep your child protected, with reminders to help you stay up to date.
Everyday childhood illnesses
Assessment and treatment for common concerns such as coughs, colds, ear infections, rashes and asthma flare-ups.
Growth & development
Support with developmental concerns including speech, learning, behaviour, motor skills and overall progress.
Asthma, allergies & eczema
Ongoing care and management for common childhood conditions, including asthma, allergies and eczema.
Teenage health
A supportive and confidential space for teenagers to discuss physical health, emotional wellbeing, school stress and other health concerns.
When should your child see a GP?
You know your child best. If you are concerned about a change in their health, behaviour or development, it is worth speaking with your GP.
Something doesn't seem right
If your child has symptoms that are worrying you or aren't improving, a GP can assess them and advise what to do next.
Ongoing concerns
We can help with recurring symptoms or ongoing conditions that require monitoring and a longer-term management plan.
Developmental concerns
If you have questions about your child's speech, learning, behaviour, growth or development, we can help assess your concerns.
Emotional wellbeing
Children and teenagers can experience anxiety, stress and changes in mood. Early support can make it easier to address these concerns.
You don't have to work it out alone.
As a parent or carer, it can be difficult to know whether something is simply part of growing up or worth getting checked. Our GPs can listen to your concerns, assess your child and help you understand the next steps.
We take the time to listen
We understand that parents often have questions about their child's health, even when there isn't an obvious illness. Whether you're concerned about sleep, behaviour, development, nutrition or a recurring health issue, you can discuss your concerns with your GP.
