Adolescent Medicine

Adolescent medicine cares for young people aged roughly 10 to 19, who face rapid physical and emotional change. It covers puberty, nutrition, mental health, sexual health, substance use and vaccination.

Teenagers benefit from time alone with the doctor, in confidence. Early help for anxiety, low mood or eating concerns improves outcomes.
