Neo-Natal Checks

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

Please register you baby as soon as you can with our practice. The sooner they are registered the sooner a GP can see your baby and help you in the New Born Period. All babies are booked for a detailed examination at 8 weeks and the GP will see them prior to their first immunisations. However, you dont need to wait till 8 weeks to see a GP. If you have any concerns about your baby please book a face to face appointment with one of our doctors.
