Well Baby Clinic:

– 5.30 p.m. (by appointment)
Wednesday 10.00 a.m.
– 12 noon (no appointment necessary)
We hold two baby clinics, one by appointment and one where
no appointment is necessary. The Monday clinic is run by the Health
Visitor and is designed to accommodate working parents. If you would
like to see the doctor at the Monday clinic, please mention this to the receptionist
when making your appointment and the necessary arrangements will be made.
Dr Asha Kapoor, the Health Visitor and a receptionist run the Wednesday clinic.
If you are unable to attend either of these clinics, please contact either
your Health Visitor or our receptionist and we will make arrangements for
you to be seen at a time convenient to you.
These clinics are intended to provide complete health care for your child
from birth to five years. This includes immunisations, developmental
checks and general advice. Our Health Visitor is always available to
give advice on caring for your child and for routine weighing. It is
important that your children are fully immunised against all childhood diseases.
We send reminders to all parents when appointments are due. Remember,
if you are unable to attend the appointment given, please contact us and
we will organise another appointment.
