Yes. We routinely measure weight, height/length, head circumference (when appropriate), and body temperature before the consultation.

Our staff are well trained in obtaining accurate paediatric measurements. Every child’s measurements are then reviewed by our consultant paediatrician using age- and gender-specific growth charts to ensure that growth is progressing appropriately over time.

This helps us detect not only underweight or overweight, but also possible concerns such as poor growth, short stature, or changes in head growth at an early stage.

If your child has difficulty breathing, bluish lips, seizures, is very drowsy, dehydrated, or appears seriously unwell, please seek urgent medical attention immediately or go to the nearest emergency department.
