Child Development Checks

These are organised by the Practice with the help of the health visitors. Parents will be sent appointments when they are due. The first check-up, at the age of eight weeks, will normally be done at the same time as the child's 1st immunisation appointment and mother’s will be invited for their post-natal check.
