Children and young people's service

If your child is struggling with a health condition, they can see one of our consultants who specialise in treating children and young people. We offer a full range of children and young people’s services from initial consultation and diagnosis through to treatment and surgery.

At Spire St Anthony’s Hospital we offer a specialised surgery service for children aged three and over and outpatient consultations from birth for both privately insured and self-funding patients.

At Spire St Anthony's Hospital, our recently refurbished facilities are designed to be child and young person friendly. We have a children's waiting room and play area, bedrooms especially for children and a dedicated children’s recovery bay for the service.

Our children and young people’s clinics are run with the assistance of our specialised nursing team to help support and guide families and their children through the outpatient process and any further investigations that may be required.

We also offer dedicated phlebotomy clinics run by specially trained children and young people’s colleagues for patients over the age of two years old.

We are able to provide treatment for both privately insured and self-funding patients, and a GP referral letter is not always necessary.

Consultations

We see children from 0-18 years in our outpatient department for consultations. Consultations are with a specialist of your choice, subject to availability. Each of our consultants have comprehensive experience treating children within the NHS.

Physiotherapy

We see and treat children over the age of six years old in our physiotherapy department which also has a hydrotherapy pool to aid rehabilitation.

Radiology

We see and treat children in our radiology department. Access is fast and if any invasive radiology is required, this is assessed with support from our children and young people’s nurses.

Surgery

We can admit children aged 3-18 years for surgery following a consultation and pre-operative assessment.

Young people aged over 16 years old have the option of being treated under adult services, if they feel this is more appropriate. These requests are assessed by the Children and Young People’s Team.

We know that when children need to come into hospital, it can be an anxious time for the whole family – that’s why we offer you and your child an opportunity to visit the hospital prior to admission, become familiar with the surroundings and meet the experts who will be involved in their care.

If surgery is needed, our young patients will be admitted at a mutually convenient time and will stay in a private, en-suite room with a TV. A specialist nurse will be assigned to them for the duration of their stay to ensure that all their needs are met.

If you would like to arrange a visit to the hospital prior to any appointments or surgery you can contact the hospital on 0203 695 0300 extension 4594 or email stanthonyscyp@spirehealthcare.com
