Patients can also be seen at Meliora’s central London rehab clinic at 48 Wimpole Street.
The pathway has been designed to make it as convenient as possible for patients travelling some distance to access expert adolescent care. Where possible, consultations, scans and further investigations will be organised on the same day so as to avoid multiple trips.
