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

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
