After the birth of your baby you will receive a text message or letter with a registration link, or paper form, to register your new arrival. Please use the link provided, or bring the completed form to the reception desk, as soon as possible so we can input your child’s details onto our system.

You will be sent a notification with the date and time of your child’s 6-8 week check with the GP and 8 week immunisations with the Practice Nurses. These appointments will be on a Tuesday morning only as two nurses need to be available to administer the vaccines.

It is important that you attend all immunisation appointments and all subsequent appointments as vaccines need to be given within a certain time frame.

If someone other than the parent/guardian is bringing the child to the vaccination appointment written consent from the parent/guardian is needed or the Practice Nurses will be unable to vaccinate.

If you cannot attend any vaccination appointments please phone reception as soon as possible so that we can re-schedule for a time that suits you and your child.

Information regarding what to expect after your child has had their vaccinations, and using paracetamol are in the following leaflets.
