For a child who is unwell now and needs to be seen today.
What is involved
Acutely unwell children who do not need emergency care
Appointments held every day for children who are acutely unwell — a fever that will not settle, a cough that has changed, a rash that has appeared, a child who is not drinking. We assess, treat where treatment is needed, and — just as importantly — tell you honestly when nothing is needed and what to watch for.
What the appointment includes
Before you come
The earlier measurements and the vaccination record in it are genuinely useful and rarely available anywhere else.
Everybody forgets at least one. We would rather go through a list than have you remember in the car park.
It changes how we run the appointment. Most of an examination can be done on your lap.
Rashes and swellings never appear at the appointment. A photograph on your phone is real evidence.
Checklist
What to bring
We hold same-day appointments every day for children who are unwell. Ring the clinic and describe what is happening and how long it has been going on, and the team will find the right slot.
Appointments
Tell us your child’s age and what is worrying you, and we will book the right clinic and the right length of appointment.
