A nurse will weigh you and measure you and record the details into your Child Health Care Record.
If necessary the nurse will test your urine and test your blood pressure. She may take a blood sample if your doctor has requested this.
Your Consultant or a member of their team will then see you for your appointment, and whilst you are waiting a play specialist will be available to arrange a game or activity for you.
