The Public Health School Nursing Service works together with children, young people and their parents/carers to provide a comprehensive efficient and accessible service.  We offer health assessment at transition points throughout a child’s life.

Redburn is an inpatient general adolescent service with 10 beds providing specialist care and treatment to young people with severe and or complex mental disorders who cannot be adequately or safely treated within community children and young people’s services (CYPS). This includes young people with mild learning disability and autism spectrum disorders who do not need inpatient CAMHS learning disability services.

The Fracture Clinic is based in the New Victoria Wing at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and provides an outpatient service for both children and adults, usually following a bone fracture.

You can be referred to this clinic by your GP, or you may be sent here following a visit to either the Emergency Department, Walk in Centre or Minor Injury Unit. 

Nurse Practitioners run special clinics to review patients with fractures, in particular those who have fractured a hip.

Our dermatology experts in Newcastle help to diagnose and treat hundreds of patients every year and care for both adults and children.

They run a number of general and specialist dermatology clinics and deal with a wide range of conditions and diseases affecting the skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails.

Some of our specialists also perform dermatological surgical procedures such as Mohs micrographic surgery (a type of surgery for removing certain types of skin cancer), laser surgery and some cosmetic surgery.

Antenatal refers to the period of time from when you get pregnant up to the point you go into labour. Regular antenatal appointments help us to ensure that you and your baby are healthy. It will also help us to recognise when input from our specialist antenatal services might be necessary.
