Paediatrics

Our team provides specialised care for newborns, including:

• Comprehensive health assessments
• Monitoring growth and development
• Management of common neonatal conditions
• You do not have to have been an obstetrics patient here prior- all babies welcome!

We conduct thorough developmental assessments to track your child’s growth milestones and identify any potential concerns early on. Our Bayley’s Developmental Assessment helps us understand your child’s developmental progress and tailor interventions if needed.

• Developmental Delays:
  If your child is slower to reach important milestones like sitting, crawling, walking, or talking, we can assess their progress and provide guidance.
• Speech and Language Disorders:
  We help children who may struggle with understanding language or expressing themselves, including those with delayed speech or limited vocabulary.
• Learning Disabilities:
  If your child is having difficulty acquiring age-appropriate academic skills, we offer support to help them succeed in their learning journey.
• Motor Coordination Issues:
  Our team can assist children who have trouble with fine or gross motor skills, ensuring they develop the coordination necessary for everyday activities.
• Sensory Impairments:
  We assess and support children with hearing or vision loss, which can impact their communication and learning abilities.

Our paediatricians are equipped to handle a variety of health issues affecting children, including:

• Routine check-ups
• Management of chronic conditions (e.g asthma, allergies)
• Nutritional advice and growth monitoring

To secure your behavioural appointment with one of our paediatricians, please ensure the following five items are included in a single email to [email protected]:

1. Two completed SNAP-IV forms (parent and teacher)

2. A current GP referral

3. Completed new patient form

4. Your child’s two most recent school reports

5. A short family history (100 words or less) outlining neurodiverse conditions, saved as a Word document

Please also attached any additional specialist reports, such as psychology, speech pathology or OT assessments on this email, if applicable. We understand this may be your first appointment to investigate your concerns, so you may not have these.

Providing these materials upfront allows your paediatrician to begin the clinical review before your appointment, ensuring faster, clearer guidance for your family.

Behavioural challenges are a common concern for many families, and they can manifest in various ways as children grow and develop. From difficulties with attention and impulse control to social-emotional struggles, our behavioural paediatrician is here to support you and your child. We recognise that these issues can significantly impact your child’s daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Our goal is to provide comprehensive evaluations and personalised strategies tailored to your child’s unique needs, helping them thrive both at home and in social settings.

• Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):
  If your child has challenges with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, we provide evaluations and management strategies.
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):
  If your child displays challenges with communication, social interactions, or repetitive behaviours, they may be experiencing symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We provide support and tailored management strategies to support your child’s unique needs, offering a clear pathway for next steps if required.
• Social-Emotional Difficulties:
  We support children facing challenges with social interactions, emotional regulation, or early signs of autism spectrum disorder and anxiety.
• Behavioural and Emotional Disorders:
  If your child experiences frequent tantrums, aggression, or withdrawal, we work together to develop effective coping strategies.
• Feeding Difficulties:
  For children struggling with eating, whether due to behavioural or developmental issues, we provide guidance to make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable.
