Who it is for
This page is relevant to families and carers seeking to understand topics relating to the care of babies and children.
Assessment and follow-up
An assessment may include discussion of growth, development and family concerns. Questions and any observations vary with the child's age and circumstances.
Preparation
It may be helpful to note your questions and the points you want to discuss, as well as any medicines or products you use. If you have received specific instructions from the service, confirm them directly; this is a general suggestion, not mandatory clinical preparation.
Results and follow-up
After the conversation, it may be useful to clarify the points observed, any next steps and when to contact the team again. There is no single outcome for every child.
