Children's health clinics in London

London has a strong concentration of private paediatric and child development services, many around Harley Street and at the capital's private hospitals, alongside extensive NHS care for children. Services range from general paediatrics to assessment of growth, behaviour, speech and development.

NHS and private care for children

Children in London receive a great deal of free NHS care — GP services, immunisations, health visiting and hospital paediatrics. Some families choose private clinics for faster assessment or a second opinion; the two can work alongside each other. Paediatricians are on the GMC specialist register, and clinics are CQC-registered.
