How do I get an appointment?
Your child's GP or consultant at their local hospital will refer them to us.
Changing or cancelling your appointment
If you need to change or cancel your appointment for any reason, contact our appointments administrator:
Before your appointment
Lipid clinic
Patients older than 1 year should fast (have only water from midnight) until their blood sample is taken.
Metabolic clinic
Please bring your child's medicines with you to the appointment.
During your appointment
You'll be seen by a doctor. Other team members may also be present such as the clinical nurse specialist or a metabolic dietitian.
The length of your appointment will be based on your child's individual needs.
We're a teaching hospital, so students and visitors may be observing the team. We'll always ask your permission for them to observe your appointment.
After your appointment
We'll put you on the waiting list for a follow-up appointment.
You should receive a letter for your appointment 6 weeks before your appointment date.
