Health Visitors
Health visitors will provide support and advice in the weeks following birth, and up until your child is 5 years old.
You will be contacted by the health visitor and visited at home soon after birth.
You will be contacted by letter to invite you to the clinic for an 8 month and a 2 year developmental check.
Our Health Visitors are not based at the surgery, but run drop in clinics here on a Thursday from 13.00 – 14.45. They also run a pre-booked clinic on Mondays, but this is generally reserved for 8 month checks.
They would prefer you to access their help via the drop in clinics, but can also be contacted on 020 8767 0193.
Courses/groups run by the health visitors:
- Post-natal course: this takes place on a Wednesday morning over 4 weeks.
It is a great opportunity to meet other mums from the area whilst discussing and learning about common issues affecting newborns and new mothers. It is held at the surgery. - Weaning group: this takes place on a Wednesday from 11.00 – 12.00 and is held at Hillbrook Childrens Centre in Tooting
Please discuss with the health visitors or call the team on the above number if you would like to attend one of these groups.
