Who is a paediatrician?
A paediatrician is a doctor who specialises in children’s health and development. When do you refer to a paediatrician? A referral to a paediatrician would be made to gain support for any child showing developmental delays or concerns. Paediatrician support must be gained prior to a referral for an Autism Spectrum Disorder assessment. |
Who can refer to a paediatrician? To see a paediatrician a referral must be gained from the family doctor (GP). Once a referral is made by the family doctor, the parent is required to make contact with the paediatrician’s office to make an appointment.Paediatricians within Wyndham |
