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 all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
