Paediatric Digestive Health

Specialist Support for Children's Digestive Health and Bowel Function

Lucy runs her Paediatric Digestive Health service at the Harley Street clinic for children aged 5-18 years old.

Specialising in bespoke care for functional gut disorders providing a tailored service working jointly with London’s leading Colorectal and Gastroenterology consultants.

Bowel issues in children can be greatly distressing for the child but also their family. There are lots of things that can impact how we poo but we also have various ways of helping the bowel work better.
