Rapid Access Clinics
These clinics aim to provide access for patients to a consultant within 3 weeks of referral. These clinics will see all new patients and aim to see, treat and discharge within a single visit.
The enabler of this clinic is having access to a multidisciplinary team including Clinical Nurse Specialists, Dieticians, Psychologists and other healthcare professionals as required. The focus on these clinics will be providing access to GPs for patients where there is significant parental concern.
Condition Specific Clinics
Four condition-focussed clinics have been proposed as part of the new model of care;
- Faltering growth
- Food allergy
- Asthma
- Children with severe constipation / continence issues requiring multidisciplinary input.
Each clinic will be supported by specialist nursing with competencies and skills in particular areas such as asthma education, feeding and weaning advice, and food allergy management including dietary interventions and use of adrenaline autoinjectors as required. These clinics will also be supported by HSCP disciplines such as dietetics, psychology and play therapy.
