Outpatient Consultations
Clinics run from Monday to Saturday and cover every aspect of Neonatal Paediatrics and General Paediatrics. Our clinicians will also provide specialist Paediatric Endocrinology and Paediatric Diabetes consultations and we have special expertise in managing complex paediatric cases with a multi-disciplinary team approach. If you have a child with a rare, multisystem or complex medical problem, we can manage medical care as in-patient.
Newborn baby checks
If you’ve recently given birth, our new-born baby checks can provide peace of mind and all the support you need to see you through those early months. If you’re at the Portland Hospital we can provide daily medical reviews while you’re on the postnatal ward. If your baby was born elsewhere, we can offer this service through our outpatient clinic.

Second medical opinion
If you would like a second opinion on a diagnosis or treatment plan, we can offer a detailed review of the medical file followed by a full written report. If needed, we can seek out the opinions of other paediatric sub-specialists and, on request, can also provide a face-to-face or remote consultation to discuss the medical report.
Routine check-ups
We can be there to help with the everyday health and wellbeing of your child. Our team can carry out routine physical examinations for babies, infants, children and young adults up to the age of 18 years who are in good health. With this service, we help you keep your family healthy and happy.
In-patient medical care
We provide on-going medical care for patients admitted with acute medical illnesses. Children requiring admission would have usually been assessed in our clinic or would have been referred by their General Practitioner for admission. We also accept interhospital transfers, both nationally and internationally. We have special expertise in managing complex multisystem paediatric cases where a multidisciplinary team approach is essential. We also provide in-patient medical care and coordinate the overall medical treatment of children undergoing neurorehabilitation.
