Online Pediatrics Consultation
An online pediatric consultation gives parents and carers fast access to a doctor for common childhood health concerns.
Not for emergencies. Online consultations are not suitable for medical emergencies. If you have severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, severe bleeding, thoughts of harming yourself, or any life-threatening symptom, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
What is online pediatrics care?
Pediatrics covers the health of babies, children, and young people. Many everyday concerns can be discussed by video with a parent or guardian present. A clinician can offer reassurance and general guidance and, importantly, advise when a child needs to be seen in person or urgently β young children can become unwell quickly, so safety-netting is always part of the consultation.
