Referring to our prolonged jaundice clinic

Newborn babies with prolonged neonatal jaundice can be referred directly by the health visitor or midwife to the dedicated clinic.

Please refer all well babies who have persistent jaundice for more than two weeks if term, or three weeks if pre-term.

Refer patients directly to the paediatric short stay unit via imperial.hh.paediatricoutpatients@nhs.net.

Please ask the parents to bring a recent stool sample from the baby and their parent-held record ‘red book’ to the appointment. 

If the baby is unwell, please call the paediatric SpR on 020 3312 6666, bleep 1202 to discuss or the on-call consultant on the paediatric advice line 020 3311 6224 (9am to 5pm) as above.
