Health Visitors

Our health visitors are based in the practice and give advice and information on health issues to families with children under five years old, and expectant mothers. They do home visits and child health clinics. They also take a special interest in the elderly. They hold a Well Baby clinic at the practice on Tuesdays at 14:00 – 16:00 (no appointment needed). Here, you can get your baby weighed and they will answer any questions you may have.
