Antenatal Clinic
These
are run by the midwife weekly. The midwife
will provide details of Parentcraft and Relaxation Classes. She will visit mothers
and their babies after they leave hospital.
Child Health Clinics
The health and wellbeing of the babies and pre-school children
in our practice is monitored jointly by the doctor and the health visitor. Children
will be checked at regular intervals during their first five years and you will
be advised when your child is due for examination. Arrangements will be made for
your child to receive all the necessary immunisations at the appropriate times.
The
health visitor is based in the Health Centre and is contactable there on 01522
706907. A Child Health Clinic runs on a Thursday afternoon.
Immunisations
and Vaccinations
These can be done by the practice nurse and
we are always happy to give the relevant advice. If you are travelling abroad
you may well require special immunisations or anti-malarial tablets. Most immunisations
for travelling abroad are free under the NHS but a charge is made for some injections,
including Hepatitis B injections and for anti-malarial tablets, which are not
available under the NHS.
Family Planning
We provide
a full range of contraceptive services and advice. For contraceptive advice, please
book a routine appointment with the doctor or practice nurse. The doctor and practice
nurse are also happy to give advice on pre-natal care if you are planning to become
pregnant.
