The service offers age appropriate care to children and teenagers in a non-threatening environment and provides support for children in the transition to adult care in a supportive and familiar environment.
We see children/young people with gynaecological conditions* including:
- Menstrual disorders

- Vulval disorders
- Pelvic pain
- Ovarian disorders
- Sexual development disorders. (These are seen within a multi-disciplinary setting which also involves an advanced nurse specialist and clinical psychologist.)
