Our Practice Midwife is available to help with your pregnancy and the early days after childbirth. Ante-natal clinics are held on Alternate Friday mornings from 9AM-2PM. We do not automatically visit on hospital discharge, however, if you need help please contact the surgery.

Please be assured your 6 – 8 week checks with the GP will be booked shortly after you have completed a registration from for your baby and we will be in contact to arrange a suitable date and time for you and your child to attend. You may receive a letter through the post regarding their 8, 12 and 16 week immunisations and they will be booked directly into our clinics.

The practice also offers a full range of contraceptive, pre-natal and ante-natal services.
