There are health visitors attached to the practice, all of whom are trained registered general nurses with additional training in family health. There are also children's nurses and nursery nurses who complement the health visiting team.

In general, health visitors work with children from birth to five years old, and their families. They undertake a system of assessing the development of children known as the "Child Health Surveillance Programme" but are available to offer advice on any matters regarding family health. You can chat to a member of the health visiting team or have your baby weighed at separate clinics held at various venues. Please contact your health visitor (0300 300 0007) who will advise you of these clinics.

Childhood Immunisation Clinics

It is very important that all babies and children are fully immunised. Illnesses such as diphtheria, tetanus and polio are now thankfully rare because of current immunisation policies, but if contracted can be crippling or even fatal. Whooping cough causes a distressing illness with prolonged coughing and vomiting which can last for months. It can lead to permanent lung damage and occasionally brain damage. Small babies are particularly at risk and so it is important that they are immunised as soon as possible. Hib causes a type of Meningitis which particularly affects babies and toddlers. Meningitis C is another form of meningitis. Measles is an unpleasant illness which can cause pneumonia and permanent lung damage. Mumps is a common cause of Meningitis and can also cause permanent deafness. Rubella (German measles) can cause major deformities in babies if it is passed on to mothers in early pregnancies. If you have any worries or questions about any aspect of your child's immunisations, please feel free to discuss them with your doctor, the practice nurses or health visitors.

You will be notified by card from the Immunisation Department or by a letter from the practice of when your child is due for immunisation.

Please note: If you are unable to make your appointment, alternative arrangements can be made.
