CLINICS

Paediatric Surveillance

Dr Pinto and the vocational training scheme doctor: for children aged six weeks - eight months and three years by appointment on Thursday mornings from 10.40am.

Please book four - six weeks in advance. In addition the health visitor performs a developmental assessment in the home when your child is 18 months old.

Inoculations For Babies

Dr Bard: Wednesdays 11.30am to 12.15pm. Usually you will be sent for by computer, but you can make your own appointments too.

We give Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, HIB and Whooping Cough at two, three and four months. MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) at 12 - 15 months, and pre-school booster at four years.

Other Inoculations

For 15 year olds the practice nurse can give Tetanus, Polio and Diphtheria. All other inoculations except BCG are available by pre-arrangement with the practice nurse.

Travel Vaccinations

These are available from the practice nurse. The practice is a Yellow Fever Centre. Charges are incurred as this is a non-NHS service.

Contraception

We feel that patients generally prefer to choose their time and doctor, so there is no special clinic.

Antenatal

Every Wednesday 10.00am -
Practice Midwife.
