Health services
Finding your way around the NHS can seem confusing, especially if
your child needs to be seen by lots of different health
professionals and services.
If you are going through the process of getting a diagnosis, or if you want information about a particular condition, you might want to visit our medical information webpages.
Here we explain what health services are available to you and your child:
Hospitals and community services (secondary care)
Child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS)
Specialist services (tertiary care)
