General paediatrics
What we do
We provide a comprehensive clinical service for children local to King’s and some from further afield. We offer direct access to a wide range of specialist paediatric services so that children with more complex disorders can receive family-centred, holistic care within the one unit.
We work in a variety of areas including:
- Paediatric Emergency Department
- Toni & Guy Ward
- Phillip Isaacs Day Case Unit
- Children’s Outpatient Department.
We hold six general paediatric clinics every week. In addition, there is a rapid access clinic held three times a week in the Paediatric Emergency Department, where children who need more urgent assessment can be seen by a consultant.
