CLINICS
Antenatal Clinic
Wednesday 9.30am - 12 noon and 1.30 - 5.00pm
Please make an appointment.
Our community midwife, Janet Taylor RM, RN, BSc, Dip HE, is in attendance for antenatal clinics.
For confirmation of pregnancy, please make an initial appointment with your doctor in surgery time.
We engage in a community-based approach to antenatal care and the midwife will advise on choices for childbirth and parentcraft classes for prospective parents.
Postnatal examinations are usually carried out on Mondays when babies attend for six week checks (see Well Baby Clinic below).
Cervical Smears
You will receive an appointment for a cervical smear when you are due in accordance with the Leeds recall system.
Well Baby Clinic
Monday 1.30 - 3.00pm (Including childhood immunisations)
Immunisations on Tuesday with the practice nurse by appointment.
The health visitor welcomes mothers
and babies for weighing and advice without appointment.
Immunisations are given by the practice nurse and appointments will be sent for this. From time to time during the first three years, you will receive an appointment for your child to be examined and his/her development
checked by the doctor or health visitor.
Please note, the well baby clinic is not for babies that are ill; seek advice or make an appointment if this is the case.
