Paediatric Super-Triage Service

This pilot service reviews children’s hospital referrals from East Haringey GPs and agrees on best next steps in care. Each referral is reviewed jointly between a Haringey GP and a paediatric doctor from North Middlesex University Hospital.

 

Aims and objectives

  • Give children faster access to specialist advice, ensuring that they get the right care in the right place.
  • Prevent unnecessary outpatient appointments and lower the chance of patients needing to return to the GP for the same issue due to long waiting times.
  • Improve the experience for families by offering reassurance and consistent care earlier on.
 

What are the service’s operating hours?

This triage service runs weekly, every Thursday.

 

How do referrals work?
