About this specialty
Our paediatric consultants cover neonatology and paediatric intensive care, paediatric infectious disease, paediatric haematology and oncology, and paediatric endocrinology and diabetes, as well as critical illness and post-surgical complications in children.
A child is not a small adult: dosing, normal ranges and the course of illness all differ. For a complex case, a rare diagnosis or a long treatment plan, our consultants provide a second opinion that either reassures the family or corrects the course before it goes far.
