Queens Road Medical Practice has bolstered its team with the appointment of Dr Neele Hamilton as its first dedicated paediatric specialist consultant.
Dr Hamilton is on the GMC Specialist Register and has joined the local practice after working in clinical research in Berlin and South Africa, focusing on childhood tuberculosis.
She offers consultations for infants, children and young people under the age of 18 relating to acute and long-term conditions, and is committed to developing children’s services within the practice.
Dr Hamilton studied medicine in Berlin, completed postgraduate training in Kent, and undertook specialist paediatric training in Germany.
Queens Road says she is focused on preventive child healthcare and can provide developmental checks for patients at six weeks, three months, six months and 12 months, with annual reviews up to school age.
All of her consultations will be private at a cost of £97 per appointment, or through valid health insurance.
Rob Jordan, Practice Manager, said: “We are proud to welcome Dr Neele to the team, as for the first time we are bringing specialist-level expertise to your familiar GP Surgery setting for preventative care, acute and long-term health conditions. This is great news for our patients and will provide peace of mind for those responsible for the health and well-being of patients under the age of 18″.
Dr Hamilton added: “I am committed to providing high-quality healthcare to the island community through my special interests in asthma, eczema, allergies, recurrent abdominal pain, headache assessment and management as well as preventive child healthcare. My family and I have recently relocated to Guernsey, and I can’t wait to explore the island’s natural beauty as we make a new home here”.
