Immunisation for children is particularly important and clinics are held by the practice nurses. Appointments are sent by post, but if you have any queries please discuss them with your health visitor or doctor.
Child Health Surveillance
Routine child health surveillance is carried out by the doctors in conjunction with the health visitors. You will receive an appointment at the appropriate time.
Cervical Smears
A computerised system is run by Cheshire Family Health and you will automatically be advised by post when your smear is due. You will be asked to make an appointment at the smear clinics which are held regularly by the practice team.
