ENJOY YOUR CHILD

Many mothers worry needlessly about their children and would bene!t from discussing everyday issues with a sympathetic paediatrician. Having someone take the time to explain what is normal and being able to see someone when you think your child is unwell enables you to enjoy your family more and worry less. Today, 15% of school children have asthma. However, many hospital admissions can be prevented by clear management plans and good advice about medication. There is sometimes limited access to primary care asthma clinics specialising in children and NHS appointments are often rushed due to overbooking.

In Europe, America and Australia, most parents choose a family paediatrician with whom they stay for many years. In the UK, the GP tends to be the !rst point of contact though many parents now choose the specialist option privately.
