Paediatric services

Expert private paediatric care for children and young people from across the UK and around the world

Our private paediatric services are delivered at the Lindo Wing, St Mary's Hospital. Care for children and young people is supported by the extensive paediatric facilities available on site, including intensive care services and NHS paediatric emergency care, providing an additional level of reassurance for families.

As part of a major teaching hospital, we have access to a comprehensive range of diagnostic services, enabling us to develop the most appropriate treatment plan for your child from the outset. We offer world-renowned expertise in paediatric haematology and allergy care, alongside a broad range of other paediatric specialties. Please contact us to discuss your child's needs and how we may be able to help.

Paediatric services

Allergies are the base of many problems, including eczema, food intolerance and respiratory problems, such as asthma.

Working as a multidisciplinary team of nurses and scientists, we will carry out extensive skin and food allergy testing and in-depth assessments of your child’s lung function and airwaves. Our renowned allergy team has made significant medical advances that mean we can quickly and accurately diagnose conditions and help your child control their symptoms. We use different techniques and immune therapy to desensitise your child to their allergy.

We also offer expert service for drug allergies, to help mitigate reactions if your child is required to take medication for another condition.

Our dedicated paediatric circumcision service is designed to provide a gentle and safe experience for babies under 4 weeks of age and their families. At the Lindo Wing, we offer a tailored approach to circumcision, prioritising the comfort and well- being of each child. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, our comprehensive service is committed to delivering exceptional results while putting the needs of our young patients and their families first. 

The first weeks with your newborn are a special time of bonding and discovery, but they can also come with challenges, especially when it comes to feeding your baby. If you are experiencing concerns, our lactation consultants are here to help. Working closely with your paediatrician, they will support you in identifying the issue and creating a personalised plan that works for you and your baby.

In some cases, a frenulectomy or tongue-tie division may be recommended. Our paediatric surgeon is on hand to perform this safe in-house procedure to release a tongue-tie in order to support better feeding and oral development.

Please contact us to discuss other services such as general paediatrics, ear, nose & throat, general surgery, hernia, undescended testes, hydrocele, neurology and orthopaedic support.

Making an appointment

The standard process is to be referred from your GP or a consultant seeing your child. However, if you have the required insurance, we are happy to accept private referrals. Please call us on +44 (0)20 3311 7700 or email imperial.private.healthcare@nhs.net for more details.
