Child Health Clinics

Face-to-face clinics for parents and carers

Our Child Health Clinics give an opportunity for parents and carers with any concerns about their baby to receive some face-to-face support from our Health Visiting Team.

Both ‘drop-in’ and ‘appointment only’ clinics are available.

Parents and carers are able to book an appointment either through their health visitor or by contacting our Single Point of Access via VCL.019.SinglePointOfAccess2@nhs.net or 0300 247 0040.

If e-mailing, please provide your child’s name, date of birth, address and contact number and your health visitor will be in touch to discuss an appointment.

Alternatively if parents or carers would like to attend a drop-in session, details of these can be found below.
