Clinics and Services
6 to 8 Week Mum and Baby Check
About six weeks after you give birth, your baby should have a check-up with your GP and you should have a postnatal check-up appointment.
Your baby's 6 week baby check is a chance for your GP to give your baby a check-up to make sure they’re well. Your postnatal check-up is to see how you’re doing after the birth and how you’re feeling as a new mum.

Cervical Smears
It is national policy that all women between the ages of 25 to 65 years who have been sexually active at any time are advised to have a smear test. These are important as they can detect early signs of serious disease which can then be easily treated.

Appointments can be made through reception.
Child Vaccinations
One of the most important things that a parent can do for their child is to make sure that they have all their routine childhood vaccinations. It's the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.
Ideally, children should have their jabs at the right age to protect them as early as possible and minimise the risk of infection.

NHS Health Checks
The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia.

Patients who are not already diagnosed with one of the above conditions will be invited, once every five years, to make an appointment with one of our nursing team.
