As a parent, it can be difficult to know when a symptom is something your child will grow out of, and when it's worth seeking specialist advice.

You may want to consider seeing a Paediatric Consultant if your child has:

✔ Symptoms that keep coming back
✔ Ongoing eczema or allergy concerns
✔ Tummy troubles that aren't improving
✔ Recurrent infections
✔ Growth or development concerns
✔ Symptoms that are affecting everyday life

Sometimes, it's not about having all the answers, it's about knowing where to turn for expert advice and reassurance.

📞 Get in touch on +44 (0)129 336 5012 with any questions. One of our Paediatric Nurses will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help guide you to the most appropriate service and Paediatric Consultant.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 👋

It's been a record-breaking warm week ☀️

Although temperatures are set to cool down a little over the next few days, it's easy for children to get so busy playing, exploring and having fun that they forget to stay hydrated.

💧 Encourage regular drinks throughout the day
🍓 Offer water-rich fruits as snacks
🧢 Don't forget hats and sunscreen when outdoors

A water bottle, regular drink breaks and a few juicy snacks can go a long way.

Enjoy the sunshine, everyone ☀️

Starting secondary school with allergies can feel overwhelming for both children and parents.

This workshop from Allergy UK looks like a brilliant opportunity for families to build confidence, learn practical skills and feel more prepared for the transition

Starting secondary school with allergies isn’t just about your child remembering their emergency medication. It’s about navigating food choices, busy corridors, new friends and travel - with confidence.

It's also about giving your child the tools to step up... and permitting yourself to step back (just a little). Join our upcoming 'Ready for Secondary School' workshop. Created by AllergyUK and

A one-evening, in-person workshop for families managing allergies during this transition.

The session includes hands-on training for your child, including:

• Practice using adrenaline pens
• Real-world scenarios like canteens and school trips
• Navigating social situations
• Travelling to and from school
• Recognising and treating allergic reactions
• Practice using adrenaline devices
• Clear, practical advice from expert allergy nurses, James Gardner and Katherine Knight. James lives with allergies himself so will talk about his personal experience too.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Sarah from The Allergy Team will run a session for parents covering:

• Guidance on building a relationship with the school
• How to support your child's independence without losing oversight
• A calm space to ask questions and connect with parents who truly get it

The event is specifically tailored to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils and their parents or carers.
