On-Site Testing and Rapid Turnarounds
At The Children’s Clinic, we utilise the latest point-of-care testing technology to deliver quick and accurate diagnoses, eliminating unnecessary delays. Our in-clinic tests include strep throat, CRP (inflammation marker), urine analysis, and blood glucose checks – all provided at no additional cost. If further investigations are needed, Dr Felicity Taylor will seamlessly coordinate them, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
With electronically delivered test results, referral letters, and treatment plans, there’s far less waiting, chasing, or risk of lost information – just efficient, expert care so you can focus on your child’s health and well-being.
A Child-Friendly Clinic for Stress-Free Healthcare
At The Children’s Clinic, we create a warm and welcoming environment designed to ease anxiety for both children and their parents or carers. Our goal is to make every visit a positive experience, ensuring little ones feel comfortable and at ease in a medical setting.
From a carefully designed space with toys for all ages to child-friendly medical tools like Buzzy, we cater to young patients’ needs – especially those who may be nervous about procedures like blood tests. For children who find blood tests challenging, we also offer access to a specialist phlebotomy service to make the process smoother.
The newly built Harpenden clinic is equipped with high-quality facilities, a friendly reception team, and free on-site parking, helping to make each visit as stress-free and convenient as possible.
