Children’s Immunisation / Infant Development Assessment
We run child immunisation clinics and it is important that children are fully immunised. Thanks to immunisation, illnesses that are potentially crippling or fatal are now rare and can be prevented. Appointments will be allocated by the Health Authority for clinics at the surgery. If, however, you cannot make an appointment, please telephone the surgery to cancel. Another appointment will be sent to you. If you find it impossible to attend your offered appointment, please contact the practice nurse to see if alternative arrangements can be made.
Child development checks are carried out by a doctor at around six weeks of age and thereafter by the health visitor.
