Feeding clinics see babies, children and young people with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties.
Our clinics are run by a range of different professionals working together. You may see one or more of the following specialists:
- speech and language therapists
- dietitians
- neurodisability specialists
- paediatric neurologists
- occupational therapists
- psychologists
If needed, we'll speak to other services involved in your child's care and their school or nursery.
We are a regional service and the hospital team works closely with professionals in the community to assess and offer advice on managing complex feeding difficulties.
We do not provide ongoing treatment as feeding difficulties are best managed in your child's everyday environment.
