An initial consultation can take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. During this session we will gather all the necessary information needed to provide you with personalised and tailored advice to meet your child's needs. We ask you to bring with any recent medical investigations, skin prick tests, blood tests, medical history, list of current medications, your child's 'blue' book and your GP or specialist referral (Please note a GP/specialist referral is preferred but not required). We will then develop a suitable plan together to meet your child's nutritional needs, taking into account your goals, nutrition requirements, food allergies, food preferences, medical needs, growth requirements and family situation. A letter to your referring medical practitioner/specialist may be sent after your appointment to summarise the assessment and treatment plan. We understand how difficult it can be to attend appointments when you have young children, so if you would prefer, online consultations can easily be arranged!
