Most patients first visit us as an outpatient. Our hospital outpatient clinics are held at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital and in the community at the Mary Sheridan Centre for Child Health.
Your child's appointment letter explains where to go for their appointment and how to get there. And you'll have a text message from us as well, reminding you about the date, time and location of the appointment.
Where to find our outpatient clinics
Ocean
Evelina London Children's Hospital - Level 0
Ocean is our main outpatient department. It is on the ground floor (level 0) of Evelina London.
The pharmacy is nearby. Please be aware that any medicines prescribed during your appointment can only start to be prepared once you come to the pharmacy. This means that there may be a long wait of over an hour to collect medicines. Please be understanding of our team. They'll always prepare your medicines as quickly and safely as possible.
A self check-in kiosk at Evelina London
Families visiting Ocean can check-in using the electronic kiosks in the main entrance of the hospital. Please bring your child's appointment letter with you on the day of your visit. The letter includes a bar code which can be scanned at the kiosk to let us know that you have arrived.
At the kiosk, you’ll be able to confirm your address, GP address and mobile telephone number and tell us of any changes that need to be made.
If you have forgotten your letter, you can still use the check-in kiosks by entering your child’s gender, date of birth and postcode.
