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

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
