Health Visitors
You can normally see the Health Visitors at their drop-in clinic; for further information please contact the Practice.
Health Visitors are all trained Nurses who have extra training and qualifications in child health.They are a fantastic source of information about child development and health, parenting strategies, breastfeeding, nutrition and community support. They also offer help with social, emotional and environmental issues that affect families.
6 Week Baby Health Checks
Please do not bring ill children to this clinic.
You will be invited to make an appointment at the surgery when your baby is around 6 weeks old. This is a health check for the new mum, as well as the baby.
You will also be offered routine health reviews for your child, with your Health Visitor, at 6-8 weeks, 8-12 months and 2-2½ years old.
Please ensure you attend these appointments to ensure your child is immunised and protected.

Our nurses hold immunisation clinics every week for baby and children immunisations.
