Children’s refraction services<\/h3>\n
In cases where there is a family history of squint, amblyopia or high prescription, children may be seen in the Children’s Rapid Access Clinic (CRAC).<\/p>\n
This is primarily a fast-track clinic for children referred by the GP, health visitor, community optometrist or orthoptist (via school screening), who need a glasses test.<\/p>\n
We also see children under the care of the Eye Hospital, working closely with orthoptic and ophthalmology services. We usually use eye drops when we assess children with refraction.<\/p>\n
The drops take 30 minutes to take effect, allow plenty of time for your appointment and bring something to entertain your children.<\/p>\n
Adult low vision<\/h3>\n
You do not have to be registered as visually impaired to access this service.<\/p>\n
A full assessment, including refraction if required, is carried out to determine which aspects of vision are posing the greatest difficulty to the patient, and which optical aids you would benefit the most from.<\/p>\n
Please\u00a0bring your own spectacles\u00a0and\u00a0any existing magnifiers, plus any\u00a0examples of tasks\u00a0that you would like magnification to assist with.<\/p>\n
We can demonstrate electronic magnifiers, give advice on suitability and availability, non-optical aids and lighting.<\/p>\n
A full low vision assessment may take up to\u00a0an hour.<\/p>\n

\n\n Children's Bladder and Bowel Service<\/span>\n <\/summary>\n
\nWhat we do<\/h3>\n
Welcome to the Oxford Health Children\u2019s Bladder and Bowel Service (CBaBS).<\/p>\n
We are a nurse-led team providing support and care for children between 2 and 18 years, experiencing on-going bladder and bowel problems such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Night-time wetting<\/li>\n
- Daytime wetting<\/li>\n
- Urgency<\/li>\n
- Constipation<\/li>\n
- Soiling<\/li>\n
- Support with toilet skills development<\/li>\n
- Product provision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Our aims<\/h3>\n
We aim to promote good bladder and bowel health and support children to achieve their maximum level of continence.<\/p>\n
For some children we recognise that full continence is not achievable, and therefore, in some situations we may explore using continence products.<\/p>\n
We do all of this by working closely with you and any other professionals who work with you too.<\/p>\n
Assessment<\/h3>\n
Our Clinical Nurse Specialists will ask you lots of questions as part of the assessment.<\/p>\n
We ask you to complete Bladder and Bowel Charts to provide an up-to-date picture of what is happening for your child.<\/p>\n
The assessment will look at every aspect of your child\u2019s life including their physical and emotional health.<\/p>\n
Treatment<\/h3>\n
The advice and treatment we offer is individualised, based upon evidence-based guidelines and research.<\/p>\n
Our nurses work in partnership with GP\u2019s and other health care professionals when necessary.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, we work with you to support you put in place the suggested strategies and advice.<\/p>\n
Provision of continence products<\/h3>\n
All children and young people should receive support to achieve their potential for reaching their maximum level of continence, regardless of their age, culture or ability.<\/p>\n
Containment products will only be supplied following a full assessment and only when toilet training is not achievable, in line with national guidelines.<\/p>\n

Speech and Language Therapy<\/h3>\n
We support children and young people who have speech, language and communication difficulties to develop the best possible communication skills that they can. For some, this might be spoken communication, and for others it might be learning to use a communication aid, or an approach based on signs, symbols or gestures.<\/p>\n
Speech and Language Therapists also assess, treat and advise on eating, drinking and swallowing problems.<\/p>\n
Occupational Therapy<\/h3>\n
Occupational Therapists help children participate in everyday life and become as independent as practically possible at school and home.<\/p>\n
We provide assessments, advice, activity programmes and therapy for children with a range of physical or developmental conditions that affect daily life.<\/p>\n
Through this, we aim to enable each child and family to discover how much they can do for themselves.<\/p>\n
Physiotherapy<\/h3>\n
We work with children and young people up to the age of 18 years, to help develop gross motor skills.<\/p>\n
We help children move and function to the best of their ability, when they have been affected by injury, illness, developmental delay or other disability.<\/p>\n
We work in patients\u2019 homes, nursery or schools, as well as at local hospitals, health centres or children\u2019s centres. We will see you as close to home as possible.<\/p>\n
