Child Health

Clinics for well babies are held on Thursday mornings 09:00 – 11:30, when the health visitors are available for support, information and advice.

Some developmental assessments are carried out by appointment within clinic time; others are carried out at home at times arranged between the health visitor and parents.

Immunisation clinics are held by appointment on Tuesday mornings with our practice nurse.

Minor Surgery

Surgical procedures not requiring hospital facilities (e.g. removal of moles and lumps) may be undertaken at the surgery.

Please discuss with your doctor.

Pregnancy Services

Your doctor of choice, along with our midwife, provide pre-conception, antenatal, and post-natal care. Our Midwives will initially see newly pregnant patients on Friday mornings at the Booking in Clinic. Our patients are usually referred to Hexham General Hospital for maternity care, but we can refer to other maternity units on request.
