Child Health

Vaccinations

Childhood immunisations are provided at the practice by the Practice Nurse, and your child should be routinely invited for these.  If you think this has not been done, please contact the practice. Our childhood vaccination clinics run alternate Thursday mornings / Friday afternoons.

The vaccination schedule can be found by following this link; https://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vaccinations/pages/vaccination-schedule-age-checklist.aspx

6-8 week baby check

Babies are invited for a routine check-up with a GP at 6-8 weeks old. You will normally be invited for your post-natal check at the same time.

The 6-8 week check will routinely check your babies eyes, heart, hips and genitalia.
