CHILD HEALTH AND IMMUNISATION 

 

All our Doctors are approved to carry out childcare.

 

The Doctor in close liaison with the Health Visitor will carry out physical examinations and immunisations. You will be sent appointments when your child's immunisations are due, please do try to keep them. Apart from these appointments the Doctors and Health Visitors will be happy to advise you on any problems or concerns you may have regarding your child's health.
