CUH say all chemotherapy and radiotherapy appointments are proceeding as planned unless patients have been contacted directly by the hospital to advise otherwise
Paediatric Update – Friday 20th March
The majority of our face to face outpatients have been stopped for now and are being replaced by telephone clinics, where specialist teams will contact you by telephone to discuss your child’s condition. It is important for parents to know that urgent reviews are still taking place. We will see your child in the safest possible manner, keeping them separated from other children and parents. We are arranging urgent assessment for cases where it is not safe to delay. Please attend for these urgent reviews if offered.
Children can become unwell quickly and thankfully, with early assessment, and treatment, will also get better quickly. Please do not delay seeking a medical review for your child. Contact your GP and if they feel it is appropriate for you to attend our paediatric service please do so.
