The care given to your child in the first five years of life is important for the future. We want to work in partnership with you to protect your child from disease and promote good health for life.
We believe, as your family doctors, we are in a unique position to monitor your child's health and development. We are also able to treat any health problems that may arise in the full knowledge of your family's health and medical history.
Well-Baby Clinic
This clinic is run by the Health Visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, and offers advice, weighing and immunisations.
No appointment is necessary to have your baby weighed or for consultations with the Health Visitors. However, if you wish to have your baby immunised, please make appointment with your doctor.
