Before you attend

Preparing for your child’s visit

  1. Give reception your child’s age and ask which paediatric service and session to request.

  2. Ask which existing records, referral documents and insurance information you should bring.

  3. Confirm the appointment and arrival instructions with reception. An enquiry alone does not confirm a booking.
