An evening child health clinic in a disadvantaged area of a London borough had similar proportions of clinic appointments kept as day clinics offering the same range of services. However, more fathers (45%) brought their children to evening clinics than to day clinics (20%). The evening clinics were particularly convenient to mothers either in employment or at college. The evening sessions were found to be quieter and quicker, but not hurried, and conducive to discussing more personal problems. Over 50% of attendances were solely to have the child weighed and to discuss the child's weight gain and feeding. Occasionally parents discussed other problems like contraception and postnatal gynaecological difficulties. The health visitor was as important as the medical officer to the success of the evening child health clinic. The evening clinic was acceptable to parents with small children and provided a needed and convenient service to mothers in employment or at college.
伦敦某行政区贫困地区的一家儿童夜间健康诊所，其预约就诊的比例与提供相同服务范围的日间诊所相近。然而，带孩子来夜间诊所的父亲比例（45%）高于日间诊所（20%）。夜间诊所对在职母亲或大学生母亲来说特别方便。人们发现夜间诊疗时段更安静、速度更快，但并不仓促，有利于讨论更多个人问题。超过50%的就诊只是为了给孩子称体重以及讨论孩子的体重增加和喂养情况。偶尔，家长会讨论其他问题，如避孕和产后妇科问题。健康访视员对于儿童夜间健康诊所的成功运作与医务人员同样重要。夜间诊所受到有小孩的家长的认可，为在职母亲或大学生母亲提供了一项必要且便利的服务。
