General Medical Assessment of Children from 0-16 years

Children are generally healthy. Even when they are unwell, they are likely to bounce back to full health very quickly.

At Moor Park Paediatric Practice, we offer consultation for a full and comprehensive medical assessment for children aged 0-16 years at a time and venue of your choosing.

Most childhood medical conditions (that is those that do not require surgery) can be assessed and managed by the specialist paediatric team within the practice. If more sub specialist care is necessary, your child will of course be referred for an opinion.

We can assess any child from the moment of birth right up to their sixteenth birthday and sometimes beyond.

Specialist Care for the Premature – New-born baby

Did you know that one in ten babies are born before their due date? Many of these babies have specific issues related to their prematurity that may impact on their growth and maturity throughout childhood.

At Moor Park Paediatric Practice, we provide specialist care for premature babies that is babies who are born from as early as 23 weeks gestation. We will monitor their growth, their development throughout infancy and childhood and ensure that they achieve their full potential in life.

If you want to know more about what we can do to support your baby if born prematurely please arrange an appointment here.

Specialist Care for Mature New-born Babies

One of the greatest of life’s joys is the birth of a baby. Most babies will transit to life outside the womb seamlessly and will soon settle into a regular routine of feeding, sleeping and growing. A small number of babies may become unwell in the minutes, hours and days after birth. This can become a very anxious time for new parents.

At Moor Park Paediatric Practice, we have considerable expertise and training in caring for the sick newborn ensuring they return to full health rapidly and reunite with their parents. Furthermore, we can support new parents with advice and tips that will ensure the new baby remains healthy throughout those early days after birth.

If you would like to find out how we can support, you and your baby at the time of birth please arrange an appointment here.

Paediatric Urgent Care Service

One in four children in any one year will fall ill suddenly and may require a hospital visit. Such a visit may entail a few tests but will not require a hospital admission.  The visit may entail a period of observation and simple treatments to improve the child’s condition.

At Moor Park Paediatric Practice, we work closely with our partners in NHS and Private Hospitals to ensure your child has access to paediatric urgent care services and help return your child to full health as soon as possible.

If you are concerned that your child requires emergency medical attention please dial 999.
