Children's Health
There is a good guide on the NHS website which describes various conditions affecting children. There is advice on how to diagnose them, how to treat them and if further advice should be consulted, view NHS childhood illness here.

Once you have your precious little bundle, we will send you a letter detailing the time and date of your postnatal and 6 week check for both you and your baby. This appointment takes around 30 minutes and covers all aspects of your care. This is the ideal time to speak up if you are having any concerns at all.
Once this check is complete, your baby will begin their immunisations schedule. You will automatically receive notifications of when your child is due their vaccinations. To find out when they are due, please click here to view the NHS Immunisation Schedule.
Having an ill child can be a very scary experience for parents. If you understand more about the illness it can help you to feel more in control. This booklet is for parents (and older children) and deals with common infections in children who are normally healthy.
See NHS Health A-Z for an in-depth description of many common health issues.

Actually, ANY issue that affects YOU!
If you would prefer to bring along a friend, carer or family member into the consultation with you, then please do, if you feel it would help you.
We have male and female Doctors and female Nurses. Our Young People’s Champion is our Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Jen Ryan. If it matters to you that you see someone of a specific gender, please tell us when you call or pop in. We can arrange for them to call you on your mobile phone if you would prefer not to come in.
When you speak to someone, you can talk to them openly and honestly about your concerns. They will not tell anyone else what you have talked about to them, unless they are worried about your safety or the safety of someone you have told them about. They will always try to talk to you first before they asked someone for help, though.
