Children's Health

Compassionate Care for Little Ones

We understand how worrying it can be when your child is unwell. Whether it is a high fever that won’t go away, a worrying rash, or a persistent cough, you want answers quickly from a doctor you trust.

At Chalk Stream Medical, we are committed to providing prompt, reassuring consultations for patients ranging from newborns to adolescents. We offer a calm alternative to busy waiting rooms, ensuring your child is seen quickly and given the time they need to feel comfortable.

A Family-Friendly Practice

We have designed our clinic to be as welcoming as possible for our younger patients. We know that visiting the doctor can sometimes be scary for children.

Our waiting area and consultation rooms are warm and inviting, featuring a variety of books and toys to keep children engaged and distracted. Our doctors are experienced in communicating with children of all ages, using a gentle approach to make examinations stress-free.

Common Childhood Concerns

We are equipped to assess and treat a wide range of acute and chronic childhood conditions, including:

• Infections: Ear infections, tonsillitis, chest infections, and urinary tract infections.
• Fevers: Assessment of unwell children with high temperatures.
• Skin Conditions: Eczema management, rashes, and mole checks.
• Digestive Issues: Colic, reflux, constipation, and abdominal pain.
• Allergies: Hay fever and allergy assessments.
• Developmental Concerns: If you are worried about your child’s milestones.

Adolescent Health

Teenagers often have specific health needs that require a sensitive and private approach. We support adolescents with:

• Skin Health: Management of acne and skin confidence.
• Mental Well-being: Support for anxiety, exam stress, and mood.
• Sexual Health: Confidential advice and HPV queries.

Neurodiversity (ADHD & Autism)

With Dr Coutts Donald’s background in psychiatry (including child services) and Dr Nuttall’s experience in family medicine, we are able to offer initial support and guidance regarding neurodiversity.

While a formal diagnosis often requires a multi-disciplinary team specialist assessment, we can provide:

• Initial screening and discussion of symptoms.
• Support for parents navigating the system.
• Referrals to trusted private paediatricians or psychiatrists for formal diagnosis.

Pricing

Children are billed at our standard consultation rates. We ensure that these appointments are long enough (30 minutes) to take a full history from the parent and examine the child thoroughly without rushing.
