Questions we are asked
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.
Before you come
Your visit
Bring the red book
The earlier measurements and the vaccination record in it are genuinely useful and rarely available anywhere else.
Bring your questions written down
Everybody forgets at least one. We would rather go through a list than have you remember in the car park.
Tell us if your child is frightened
It changes how we run the appointment. Most of an examination can be done on your lap.
Bring a photograph of anything intermittent
Rashes and swellings never appear at the appointment. A photograph on your phone is real evidence.
Checklist
What to bring
- Your child’s personal child health record (the red book)
- A list of any medicines, including inhalers and creams
- Photographs of any rash or swelling that comes and goes
- Any letters from your GP, health visitor or school
