Clare B. Nourse is a paediatrician based in Herston, QLD, working from 288 Herston Road, Herston QLD 4006. She looks after children and young people, especially when things get a bit complex or the illness needs careful follow-up over time.
In her day-to-day work, Clare treats a mix of medical problems. This includes serious infections such as syphilis in children and congenital syphilis, plus bone infections like osteomyelitis. She also helps with gut and tummy conditions linked to infections, including amebiasis and amebic liver abscess. At times, she manages other less common infections too, such as angiostrongyliasis.
Some referrals come in because of sudden or unusual symptoms. Clare has experience with conditions like anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, which can affect behaviour, thinking, and how a child feels day to day. She also sees kids with lung problems such as atypical pneumonia, where the cause isn’t always simple at first.
Alongside the illness itself, she focuses on the basics that help families cope: listening to what’s happening, checking for red flags, and keeping treatment plans clear. She understands that parents and carers are dealing with a lot, so she aims to make the next steps feel doable.
Clare’s education is in the field of paediatrics, with medical training that prepares her to work with children across a range of conditions. She also stays up to date with paediatric publications and new clinical knowledge when it helps guide care. No specific clinical trials are listed in her profile, but she does keep an eye on what’s being learned in paediatric medicine.
