Coming to hospital as an Outpatient: Our children’s outpatient clinics are currently held in the Outpatient’s Department. Your child's appointment letter will inform you of the date, time and what outpatient’s suite to attend for your appointment. Please bring a list of your child’s medication with you. Sometimes there can be a wait to see your child’s doctor/nurse specialist in outpatients, so it is a good idea to bring some toys, games console, books with you to help distract them while you are waiting.
