At The Blackwell Clinic, your child’s health is our top priority. We offer warm, expert-led care for babies, children and teenagers, covering everything from newborn baby checks to general paediatric GP consultations and advanced dermatology assessments.
Whether it’s a feeding issue, a fever, or a persistent rash, our child-friendly clinic offers rapid access to experienced GPs with a specialist interest in paediatrics. We take time to listen, examine thoroughly, and give you the reassurance and guidance you need without the stress or delays of navigating standard NHS pathways.
We provide in-person and virtual consultations, with same-day and next-day appointments available Monday to Saturday.
Private paediatric care at The Blackwell Clinic is tailored to your child’s age and individual needs. We combine the thorough, holistic approach of a GP with focused insight into children’s health and development. From infant feeding difficulties and cradle cap to adolescent acne or sports injuries, our team offers rapid diagnosis, supportive treatment, and clear next steps.
We’re trained to spot red flags early and escalate care efficiently if hospital or specialist input is needed. Where required, we refer you to trusted paediatric ENT, allergy, dermatology or gastroenterology consultants.
Appointments are available Monday to Saturday, with same-day or next-day availability for urgent issues.
We offer both in-person and virtual consultations, depending on your child’s symptoms and your preference. For all patients, you have a choice in the duration of your consultation (20, 30, 40, or 60 minutes), to allow you plenty of time to give a detailed history and for us to perform a calm, child-friendly examination.
Most common conditions can be managed on-site, and we’ll issue private prescriptions as part of the consultation if deemed appropriate. We can also issue letters for nursery/school if needed, at an additional cost (see website pricing list for details). If tests or referrals are recommended, we’ll explain why and arrange them promptly.
Initial consultations start from 20 minutes. But parents/guardians have the choice of booking longer appointments (30, 40, or 60 minutes) depending on the complexity of the concerns.
Follow-ups are usually 20 minutes, and again parents/guardians have the choice of booking longer appointments (30, 40, or 60 minutes) depending on the concern.
