Postnatal Checks
Practice nurse or midwife who you attended for antenatal care usually carries out postnatal checks in normal surgery hours.
Baby Clinic 
Our baby clinic is held on Wednesday mornings. This is for weighing, general advice, immunisations and minor ailments. Our practice nurse, health visitor and one of the doctors are present.
Please note that in order to cut waiting times we now carry out 8-week baby checks and first immunisations by appointment.
Your Health Visitor will contact you regarding your child’s 3½-year check and you will receive a letter about pre-school booster injections.
You may also get your child immunised (by appointment) at any of our nurse’s clinics.
Vaccinations
- Children - It is important that your children are fully vaccinated. This may be performed at either our baby clinics or by appointment with the practice nurse or doctor if you prefer. In order to facilitate record keeping, it is helpful that immunisations are undertaken by us and NOT in community clinics.
If it is difficult for you to attend the surgery at the given times alternative arrangements can be made.
- Adults - Are you up to date with your tetanus and polio? If you require routine vaccinations and travel immunisations please make arrangements to see the practice nurse. (See attached insert advice on immunisations).
Travel Information & Vaccinations
Available from our nurses during any of their clinic sessions. Please ensure plenty of time before departure as some vaccinations may need to be given up to 12 weeks prior to departure. Most vaccinations are free of charge.
Minor Surgery
Minor skin lesions and warts can be removed. Treatment at the monthly minor surgery clinic can only be arranged by your GP as some lesions are unsuitable for treatment. Treatment is usually cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.
