Hi there,


My daughter needs to have a pretty straightforward medical procedure ASAP but I'm not comfortable taking her to my doctors as they don't have a paediatric specialist and it require extreme precision. Does anyone know of an NHS paediatric nurse/ doctor at a local practice?


Any leads appreciated, thank you!

Difficult to advise without knowing what the procedure is - if it's common though, most surgeries would be able to advise who on their team could do the procedure (after all, the idea of general practitioners is that they see/treat/manage care for all from birth-adulthood & beyond) & as a local paediatric nurse, I have no problems with using local NHS GP services for my daughter/know lots have had positive experiences with local GP's caring for their children.


If it does genuinely need a paediatrician, then they would refer your daughter to the paediatric team at the local hospital (guessing this would be Kings), most likely to out-patients to be seen & treated from there.

Thank you for replying. You were right actually, I went to the GP and she said it's some thing they do often and is quite straightforward. It is to treat a granuloma with silver nitrate which is why I was nervous, but felt reassured after talking to the doctor.


Thanks again!

Glad the GP helped :-) most paediatricians would've been :-s about it as isn't something they very commonly see & likely to refer you back to your GP! In fact, in A&E I helped the GP's do them - v satisfying!

Hope all is sorted without needing any further treatments x

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
