The dedicated acute illness clinic can be found running from Tawhill Medical Centre. It can be accessed by children between 2 - 17 years of age.

A spokesperson said: "We are aware that children are more likely to be unwell during the winter months so this clinic aims to allow easier access for medical care for young people in the area.
