Please note
Walk-in appointments are not accepted, and only families with a scheduled appointment will be seen on the day. If you think your child may benefit from Kidscope, please speak to your Public Health Nurse.
What to expect at the clinic
- On arrival at the NICHE community centre, you will meet the Kidscope team and the medical students who will be there on the day as part of their teaching practice.
- You and your child will be brought into a clinic room, where the medical students will play and interact with your child and ask you about their medical history and any concerns you have. A community medical doctor will also be in the room to oversee the medical history and clinic observation.
- During the appointment, our medical students and the Kidscope team will try to measure your child’s height and weight.
- You will then meet Dr Louise Gibson to talk about the concerns raised during the appointment and what supports may be of benefit to you.
How long it takes
Appointments can last between 1 and 2 hours.
