25.01.2022 Just a reminder there is no walk-in clinic today, but open again next week (then closed the following 3 weeks).

20.01.2022 Hello everyone, Two updates (about urgent review appointments and end of walk-in clinic) Firstly, for everyone who has contacted me in the last few weeks for an urgent review appointments, I have your children on a list to call when these appointments become available. Opportunities for urgent reviews only become available when other families cancel (if they give enough notice!). This does occur regularly, but is clearly not predictable! I usually contact families by email or... text after-hours as these appointments become available. Appointments will be prioritised for children who: 1- Have an exacerbation of medical / mental health / behavioural / developmental concerns that require specialist involvement (for example, exacerbation of an eating disorder or heart failure or an endocrine/hormone problem, loss of developmental skills etc...). Children with asthma, eczema, allergies, abdominal pain, constipation etc... are likely to receive appropriate management from their GP much quicker. 2- Children who have been unable to make it to a scheduled appointment, when I have been notified of this within a reasonable time frame. Children who failed to attend their most recent scheduled appointment, without their parent or carer notifying me of the need to cancel, will be allocated the next available non-urgent review (currently December). Secondly, in order to accommodate for the increased need for urgent 30 minute appointments, I will be stopping walk-in clinics after this week. Walk-in will be open from 2:30 PM until 5 PM this Thursday 1st August. Cheers, Cara

15.01.2022 Walk-in clinic tomorrow from 2:30 PM - 5 PM- and if it's quiet I'll try to return some phone calls! Walk-in closed for the next two weeks, back on 1st August, then closed again for a few weeks. Please text/email if you need a semi-urgent review appointment and I'll find a time. Cheers, Cara

02.01.2022 Hello everyone, just another update for those requesting crisis appointments or asking questions about their child's care by email or other media. At the moment, the requests for crisis appointments far outnumber the appointments that become available due to cancellation. There is likely to be a 4-6 week wait for most children. Please consider discussing your concerns with your GP or therapists while awaiting an appointment. I am also working hard to get through emails to a...ddress parent or carer concerns about the children I see, and hope to get back to most families still waiting from the last few weeks in the next day or two. I also no longer have the capacity to return emails for parents whose children are not my patients, and a generic prepared email will be sent instead. Cheers, Cara

01.01.2022 Just a reminder, last walk-in clinic tomorrow, from 2:30 PM until 5 PM. Cheers, Cara
