Combining years of experience our inter-referral system means we encompass a wide range of clinical multidisciplinary team services in one location.
Our team consists of carefully selected highly skilled paediatric specialists and allied health professionals, experienced paediatric nurses who all excel in their respective fields and work seamlessly together sharing our vision to deliver all-inclusive paediatric treatments in a friendly, supportive and safe environment.
Comprising of several consulting rooms imaginatively-themed to create a calming, comforting atmosphere for children, our clinic aims to provide a great service to our patients and to create a positive place for our staff to work.
We have purpose-built a unique sensory quiet playroom with a soothing ambience.
There is a pleasant natural sunlit area used as a boardroom where individual families or groups of parents can meet and discuss their children’s needs in a MDT setting. The spacious seminar area will be used as a medical educational centre for all health professionals and families.
Our goal is to be a local educational hub, sharing our medical knowledge and resources to empower our local community of medical professionals. We will hold quarterly paediatric education updates where GPs can discuss challenging cases and explore more about paediatric conditions as part of their ongoing professional development.
We will also run regular seminars for parents on numerous conditions affecting children, including first aid. When parents are emotionally well supported, educated and confident, they can advocate best for their child and help achieve their optimum health goals.
