These clinics are also known as Well Baby Clinics. BABIES AND CHILDREN WHO ARE ILL SHOULD BE SEEN BY A DOCTOR IN A SURGERY SESSION NOT THE CHILD HEALTH CLINIC.

We hold two clinics at the Holton-le-Clay Surgery:

Tuesday 2-4pm - this is a very busy clinic and children are seen for development reviews by Dr Massey and immunisations by Practice Nurse, Gill Preston, and are by appointment only. A Health Visitor is always available to provide advice.

Wednesday 1.30-2.30 - this Clinic is more relaxed and babies can be weighed and advice given by your Health Visitor. Appointments are not required. A Doctor is not in attendance.

Health Visitors carry out routine contacts to families at certain times as follows:-

All first time parents will be offered a visit at home about a month before the baby is born in order to meet your Health Visitor and to find out what our service provides after the baby is born.

Between 10 and 14 days after the birth a Health Visitor will visit you at home. This will usually be after the Midwife has stopped visiting. They always visit by appointment. They will visit you at home as often as required for the first 6 – 8 weeks, longer if requested.
