Overview
General Paediatric Outpatient Clinics are at Mercy Hospital for Women (MHW). As an outpatient, you do not need an overnight stay at the hospital.
We provide general paediatric assessment to:
- infants
- pre-school age children
- school-age children.
After your assessment, your child may be:
- referred to therapists or a paediatric sub-specialist for their opinion
- given a course of medication
- sent for more tests.
Your general practitioner (GP) will receive a letter confirming the outcome of your child’s assessment.
