This service is part of Respond. We offer general paediatric clinic appointments at UCLH to children and young people seeking asylum and refugees (CYPSAR). Children are seen by a dedicated team of paediatricians with expertise in healthcare for this group, and in trauma-informed care. This includes children and young people seeking asylum who are unaccompanied (CYPSAR-U), in partnership with local children looked after health services.
Appointments are of longer duration than standard appointments, and interpreters are provided. The clinic works closely with other Respond services, including the Respond advice and guidance multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting and the children and young people’s infection, tropical medicine and parasitology services.
Clinics take place within the children and young people’s outpatients department.
