There are 2 new important additions to the service I already offer to you.

1 Medical assessment of parents.

As you know I have been providing informal advice about medical conditions and giving immunizations to parents for many years now.

Due to many requests I have decided to formalize this as follows.

I am now happy to see parents who wish general medical advice on the same terms as I see their children.

Just as with your children in the case of yourselves I am able to make speedy referral to the appropriate adult physician if I do not feel able to give suitably informed advice or treatment.

As always the prime concern if your safety.

Out of hour’s service:

Again I have provided this service informally for the families I look after for many years.

From Sept 1^st 2011 I propose to make this more formal.

I will be contactable via the usual number ( 02072244668) for families wishing to use this service. My PA Kelly Anyogu will answer your call.

Due to being based at two sites – London Mon- Wed, Hampshire Thurs –Sun. I cannot guarantee to make a visit to your house if this is felt to be necessary but I can arrange for patients to be seen at 117A Harley St during all the week and at The Children’s Clinic, Hampshire Thurs – Sun.

Following the telephone consultation one of 3 decisions will be reached:

A No further action required.

B No further action required overnight, but to be seen first thing the following morning in clinic. (08:30 appointment kept free for emergency visits.

C To be seen in clinic that day before 9pm

D  Urgent assessment required in hospital. I will arrange for this process to be as smooth as possible by contacting the on call registrar in the hospital.

The cost of this service will be as follows:

£85:00 per telephone or text consultation.
