The North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH) paediatric team provides a comprehensive secondary service to all local children up to the age of 16, as well as a number of tertiary services.

The trust aims to see patients within 18 weeks of their referral being made for routine appointments, or within six weeks for urgent referrals.

The service has expanded in recent years and now provides the following sub-specialties in addition to the general paediatric clinics:

  • paediatric cardiology
  • paediatric clinical immunology & allergy
  • paediatric diabetes
  • paediatric endocrinology
  • paediatric gastroenterology
  • paediatric infectious diseases
  • paediatric medical oncology
  • paediatric nephrology
  • paediatric epilepsy(not a full neurology service)
  • paediatric respiratory medicine
  • paediatric rheumatology.

The following paediatric services are also provided by the Trust, but outside the direct management of paediatric team;

  • paediatric dermatology
  • paediatric ophthalmology
  • paediatric urology

As such, any referral made for these services should be made directly and any received by the paediatric outpatient team will be passed onto the appropriate team copying in the sender for acknowledgement.

The children’s outpatient service also benefits from having a Child & Adolescent Psychiatry & Psychotherapy Liaison Team (CAPPLT) on-site which provides services to patients as required throughout their treatment at the hospital. However, please note that the service only accepts internal referrals from the paediatric and paediatric emergency teams.
