The Children’s Outpatients within CTMUHB are situated within our 5 centres. Each is staffed with Children's Nurses, Paediatric Consultants, Health Care Assistants, and specialist practitioners. In our departments we see children with many different medical conditions. We hold several clinics to treat children and young people aged 0-16 with a variety of different conditions (such as cardiology, asthma, endocrine and allergy).
Patients who are referred to us will see someone from the multi-disciplinary team. Your appointment will usually be with a paediatric consultant, but you may also be seen by specialist nurse, or therapist.
During your appointment, you may need additional tests such as a blood test, x-ray, an ECG or skin prick (allergy test). These will be carried out by the nurses and healthcare assistants, although please be aware there may be a wait time depending on whether other clinics are running.
You may have to come and visit us a few times, but you won’t have to stay overnight.
