Growth charts: You are advised to get your child’s growth parameters (weight and height) as well as blood pressure and heart rate monitored with your GP on a regular basis. These growth parameters monitored over time can then be converted into graph from the GP database. Subsequently, Dr Sonawane will organise review with her to monitor your child’s progress. Please keep this graph to be presented to Dr Sonawane during the appointment.

Book subsequent appointment: When you receive a prescription with Dr Sonawane, please ensure that you have subsequent appointment booked in at least 2-3 weeks before you run out of the medications. You can liaise with your pharmacy and Dr Sonawane (during the appointment) to confirm this date. This is to avoid you having to get stressed last moment when you have less than a week of medications left. Please note, it is extremely difficult to organise any last moment scripts required because of medication running out as other parent’s scheduled appointments get affected to facilitate this. Your understanding regarding this will be appreciated.
