Your Day at Clinic:
- Patients and their families will each see approximately 6-7 clinicians within the Great Ormond Street Outpatients Department, located in the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, to the left of the main Gt Ormond Street building.
- Clinics are held once a month on a Friday morning. The clinic is patient centric meaning all patients and their families will be allocated a room with the clinicians rotating around them.
- Patients will have an afternoon in the ophthalmology department of the main hospital building; this will take place either the day before the appointment (with accommodation provided) or patients will go to ophthalmology following their morning multi-disciplinary appointment.
- Be prepared - the day can feel busy and long so organise healthy snacks, drinks and something to keep your child occupied to help the day pass easier.
- A sandwich lunch is provided at the clinic; all dietary needs are catered for with advance notice.
- There is an indoor play area available so children can relax away from the consultations if needed.
