A paediatrician specialises in the health and development of infants, children, and teenagers. They can diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, including respiratory problems (such as asthma and recurrent chest infections), growth concerns, developmental and behavioural issues, sleep problems, gastrointestinal symptoms, recurrent infections, and many other childhood health conditions.
A respiratory assessment is a detailed evaluation of your child’s breathing and lung health. During the assessment, the paediatrician will review your child’s medical history, symptoms, triggers, and previous treatments. They may examine your child’s chest and breathing pattern and, where appropriate, carry out tests such as lung function testing. Respiratory assessments can help diagnose conditions such as asthma, chronic cough, recurrent wheeze, and other breathing-related concerns.
Lifestyle medicine focuses on improving health through evidence-based changes to daily habits and behaviours. For children and young people, this may include guidance on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, screen time, and family wellbeing. Lifestyle medicine can support the management of conditions such as obesity, asthma, sleep difficulties, anxiety, and other long-term health concerns, helping children achieve better overall health and quality of life.
NHS waiting times for paediatric appointments vary depending on your location, the type of referral, and the urgency of your child’s condition. In some areas, routine appointments may involve waits of several months.
Yes. If your child’s care would benefit from additional specialist input, a paediatrician can refer them to appropriate services. This may include respiratory specialists, allergy services, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, mental health services, developmental assessment teams, or other paediatric subspecialists.
