Some services has also expanded to provide better care for patients. The Paediatric Feeding and Nutrition Clinic, for instance, has a kitchenette and an observatory room with a one-way mirror that allows the doctors and parents to observe the child\u2019s interaction with the therapist. A child is much more likely to behave naturally when there is less attention and may also react differently when away from their parents.<\/p>\n<p>Associate Professor Daniel Goh from the Department of Paediatrics at NUS Medicine and Chair of the Khoo Teck Puat \u2013 National University Children\u2019s Medical Institute (KTP-NUCMI) at NUH, said \u201cWhile good clinical care remains our focus, as paediatricians, we are constantly thinking of ways to take the fear and anxiety out of children when they come to the hospital. For some of our young warriors, the treatment process can be challenging in more ways than one. We try to ease the experience for them by creating a therapeutic and supportive environment that they can relate to. This explains the various nature-related themes in the building. To this end, we have also sought out like-minded collaborators with the aim of making an outpatient visit for little ones less intimidating and a more pleasant one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The centre follows an overall theme that has a “playscape” element and each floor has a different theme \u2014 City Scape, Arctic, Savannah and Rainforest \u2014 all vibrantly designed for an interesting visual experience.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the NUHkids Specialist Centre, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuh.com.sg\/ktp-nucmi\/about-us\/the-future-of-our-paediatric-care-nuhkids-ambulatory-centre.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2483\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/newsinfomain2_NUHKidscentre_190114.jpg\" alt=\"newsinfomain2 NUHKidscentre 190114\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2484\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/newsinfomain3_NUHKidscentre_190114.jpg\" alt=\"newsinfomain3 NUHKidscentre 190114\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2485\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/newsinfomain4_NUHKidscentre_190114.jpg\" alt=\"newsinfomain4 NUHKidscentre 190114\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2486\" src=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/newsinfomain5_NUHKidscentre_190114.jpg\" alt=\"newsinfomain5 NUHKidscentre 190114\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>News Coverage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/health\/new-nuh-paediatric-centre-houses-all-outpatient-services-for-children-under-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Straits Times, 14 January 2019, Top of the News, pA7<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":9203,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags_item":[],"class_list":["post-2257","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New specialist centre dedicated to children's health opens in NUH - NUS Medicine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/medicine.nus.edu.sg\/news\/new-specialist-centre-dedicated-to-childrens-health-opens-in-nuh\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New specialist centre dedicated to children's health opens in NUH - NUS Medicine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The National University Hospital (NUH) opens a new one-stop specialist centre to provide outpatient care for young patients.
