Paediatric Medical Services
Hospital services
Acute Paediatric Medical Services are provided at three hospital sites in the Northern Trust.
Community services
A range of community paediatric services are provided within our two Hub areas.
Northern Hub: Coleraine, Ballymoney, Ballymena
Southern Hub: Larne, Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Antrim.
Services include pre-school and school age assessment and management of developmental delay and disability, including medical assessment of children below five years of age with possible autistic spectrum disorder. Medical input is provided to the School Health Service and multi-disciplinary Child Development Clinics. Services are provided for pre-adoption medical assessments and annual review of some children looked after by the Trust. The service is available throughout the Trust from 9.00am to 5.00pm, Monday – Friday. We aim to see your child at a location within your Hub area.
Some of our community paediatricians have additional roles working in the paediatric in-patient units, the Paediatric ASD Diagnostic service, ADHD clinics, Consultant Paediatric Clinics, within Paediatric Palliative Care and the Rowan Sexual Assault Centre.
