Visitor guidance: In line with current national guidance, one visitor only - a parent or appropriate adult - is able to visit a child who is an inpatient in our hospitals.
Please note: All children's services (including bloods) at Heatherwood Hospital are currently closed due to Covid-19.
We offer a full range of paediatric or children’s services in dedicated child and family friendly environments. Children are seen in separate emergency departments and outpatient department areas by medical and nursing staff specially trained in paediatrics.
The children's unit offers a wide range of facilities to care for children of different age groups, including a dedicated teenage unit at Frimley Park Hospital. Separate areas on the ward are designated for children with medical conditions, children having surgery and those suffering from infectious diseases.
Our multi-disciplinary team of community paediatricians provides expertise in child development, social and educational paediatrics. Community paediatricians work closely with, and provide medical advice to education services and social service departments.
Specialists within the department offer a wide range of paediatric professional skills and run regular specialist clinics:
Paediatric specialist clinics
- General paediatrics
- Epilepsy
- Neurology
- Cardiology
- Baby clinic
- Diabetes
- Gastroenterology
- Oncology
- Prolonged jaundice
- Tuberculosis
- BCG immunisation clinic
- Paediatric phlebotomy
Specialist clinics provided with our partners
- Neurology
- Cardiology
- Respiratory and cystic fibrosis (CF)
- Endocrinology
- Rheumatology
- Paediatric surgery, including orthopaedics
Making the move from children’s to adult services can be unsettling - we offer adolescent transitional clinics for diabetes, epilepsy and gastroenterology to try to make this move as easy as possible.
