Child health
We provide an excellent Paediatric service seeing babies from birth, for new-born checks, up to adulthood. Our practice is welcoming and child friendly and all the doctors are very experienced in Paediatrics.
We follow the NHS vaccination schedule, while also offering extra vaccines that may be relevant, such as the Chickenpox vaccination. We can also follow the schedules of other countries, if you are temporarily in the UK and would like to continue the schedule already started elsewhere.
We can do regular child health checks looking at development, growth, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and have close links to the Paediatric unit at the Cromwell Hospital. We know some of the top specialist consultants in London and want to make sure that you are receiving the best possible care for your children.
We see international students or those preparing for university abroad, and can provide health assessments required for university admission, and travel vaccinations for holidays and gap year students.
Immunisations
We follow the UK childhood immunisation schedule as directed by the department of health, while also offering additional vaccinations that might be needed. Vaccinations can be scary at any age and we are always happy to take time, while trying our best to make it a good experience.
