CHILDREN The Health Visitor and the doctors offer regular checks of your child's development from birth until starting at school. This provides an ideal opportunity to discuss any worries or queries you might have. The Practice would expect that all children will receive their childhood immunisations unless there is a specific medical reason not to do so.
Well Baby Clinic - Every Tuesday afternoon 2.00pm - 3.45pm at the Mudeford surgery. This is open to everyone, no appointment needed. The Health Visitor will be able to discuss with you any concerns you have about your child's sleep, behaviour, diet, immunisations etc.
Child Development Clinic - This clinic also runs on Tuesday afternoons with one of the doctors doing baby checks, pre-school checks and immunisations where appropriate.
Remember If your child is unwell - ring the surgery on 01425 272 203 or attend children's surgery 4.00pm to 4.30pm weekdays. To contact your health visitor ring: 01425 673811 between 8.30am and 4.30am. Outside these times please use the current out of hours service number or contact NHS Direct on: 08 45 46 47.
