Children’s Consultant-led Clinic

Dr Kane and Dr Khushnood work together to provide a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan for your child.

Dr Khushnood is a tertiary level paediatric cardiologist working at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, with 20 years experience of prescribing specialist medication for children.

Combined with Dr Kane’s experience of treating patients with Long COVID holistically, both consultants bring a wealth of expertise and experience together, creating this dedicated Long COVID paediatric clinic, the only one of its kind in the UK.

Dr Kane and Khushnood see children from across the UK.

They do not currently offer appointments from outside of the UK due to high demand on the service.

The clinic generally accepts children over the age of 12yrs.

Younger children will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
