Child Health Checks
Appointments are sent out automatically by the local health authority for routine child health checks. The first will be with a GP at the surgery when your baby is around 6 weeks old. You will be sent information about this and asked to make an appointment at your local clinic or practice.
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.
Child Immunisations
It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but if you or your child missed a vaccine, contact the surgery to catch up.
Coronavirus Update
Routine vaccinations for babies, pre-school children and adults are continuing as normal. It’s important to go to your appointments unless you, your child or someone you live with has symptoms of coronavirus. Vaccinations usually given in school are being rescheduled. Immunisations are given by our Practice nurses or other healthcare professionals in accordance with the NHS vaccine schedule.
When to Immunise
Different vaccines are given at different ages to protect you and your child. Find out when these vaccinations are offered, and when and where they’ll be given:
