Overview of Medical Paediatrics
This is a large department covering the health of all of the body’s systems. General paediatricians manage medical conditions affecting infants, children and young people, from babies through to teenagers. Within our service we also have more specialised teams who look after each system in more details, including our respiratory team, cardiology service, gastrointestinal paediatricians, paediatric neurologists, paediatric rheumatologists, infectious disease and immunology specialists, renal team, metabolic team and endocrine & diabetes team. Many of our specialist teams work closely within a network of similar specialists across Scotland.
Most new patients are likely to meet one of our friendly general paediatricians first and are generally seen in our outpatient clinics (but we also see more unwell patients in our Paediatric Assessment Unit and in our Medical Ward or High Dependency Unit).
