📢 Did you know?

Every year, thousands of children across England miss important healthcare appointments. Around 1 in 10 paediatric appointments are recorded as Was Not Brought (WNB).

For children living with diabetes, eye screening is an important part of protecting their sight and detecting any changes early. Missing appointments can mean that important checks are delayed.

If you're finding it difficult to attend your child's appointment, please get in touch. We're here to help and can rearrange appointments to ensure your child receives the care they need.

❤️ Your child's health, safety and sight matter.

📞 To find out more or rearrange an appointment, contact us on 01204 891 000.
