Educational information only
Website content provides general education and preparation guidance. It does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Not an emergency service
The website, email and public forms are not continuously monitored. For a child who is seriously unwell, has a seizure lasting five minutes or longer unless an individual emergency plan says otherwise, has breathing difficulty, sudden weakness, loss of consciousness or reduced responsiveness, use the nearest emergency unit or local emergency services immediately.
No online diagnosis
A page, article, video or form submission cannot confirm a diagnosis or treatment plan. Clinical decisions depend on the individual child, examination, investigations and professional judgement.
No automatic relationship or booking
Reading the website or submitting a request does not create a doctor-patient relationship and does not confirm an appointment.
