Adolescent Health
GPs at our clinic understand that transition from a child to a teenager then to an adult is particularly challenging and confusing. Teenagers can use maximum support from families and societies to facilitate transition from one phase to another. GPs can be a safe place to access any relevant information, understand risky behaviours, identify, treat, and manage physical and mental issues. For teenagers, confidentiality, non-judgemental approach, making their own choices, is of utmost importance and we make sure to follow practices which make a teen feel valued. Your GP can be helpful-
