02.01.2022 Children can be very good at hiding illness, and other times are unable to communicate how they feel. As a parent it is OK to talk to your GP about changes in your child's behaviour, check their development and confirm that your loved ones are well. Book a telehealth consult to discuss your concerns, or come in for a face-to-face consult. We are still open and seeing patients.
