Supportive Care for Your Child’s Healthy Weight
We understand that weight management is complex. At our Paediatric Weight Management Clinic, we support children and young people in reaching a healthier weight in a compassionate, family-focused environment. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists provides safe, evidence-based care to help children and families make positive changes that last a lifetime.
Understanding Weight Management
Weight management is rarely about a single factor. We look at the holistic endocrine profile of your child.
Metabolic & Endocrine Screening
Hormonal causes for obesity are rare. We investigate potential medical causes for weight gain like thyroid dysfunction. We screen for health problems like insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and high cholesterol levels due to increased weight. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive, personalised health care plan to achieve healthy weight.
Bespoke Plans
Every child's growth trajectory is unique. We provide a personalised roadmap that respects the family dynamic and the child's emotional well-being.
A space built on empathy and evidence, never judgmental.
Multi-disciplinary team
The expert team includes senior Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist and Paediatric Dietician. We also include Psychologist support as needed.
