The paediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) service provides an alternative to accident and emergency for children and young people with minor injuries and illnesses.  

Your child’s care

Paediatric nurse practitioners provide treatment for a range of minor injuries and illnesses including:
  • Cuts and grazes
  • Sprains and strains
  • Bites and stings (including human and animal bites)
  • Skin infections 
  • Minor head injuries without vomiting and / or loss of consciousness
  • Eye problems, such as minor eye infections/ conjunctivitis
  • Objects in the ear or nose which have become stuck
  • Impetigo (a contagious bacterial infection of the skin) 
  • Ring removal
The service is available through the Shiremoor Resource Centre and the clinic operates Monday to Friday 9.30am - 5pm.
 
If your child has a minor injury then you are able to 'walk in' and wait to be seen. If you are unsure as to whether your child has an injury or an ailment that the service can treat please contact the Shiremoor Resource Centre on 0191 297 9000.
 
Please note that we do not provide a dressing change service or wound check service. This should be provided through your GP practice.
