Community Paediatricians are child health doctors trained in both hospital and community settings. They have experience of working with children and their families with a range of conditions and needs.

For ADHD and ASD assessment in school age children,the doctors work with our NHFT ADHD and ASD service.

Appointments are mostly carried out in clinic settings or by phone.
