Child Health Clinic is a drop in session for all babies and children from birth to 5 years.
Please note: To ensure you are seen by the Health Team, please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to closing.
Come to a Family Hub to get your baby or child weighed, or to speak to a member of the Health Visiting Team in one of our friendly and welcoming Child Health Clinics.
These drop-in sessions give families the opportunity to ask questions about their child’s health, growth or development. Please bring your baby’s red book when attending the clinic.
The Health Visiting team offers contacts as part of the Healthy Child Programme, and all children are offered appointments for health and development reviews within the Family Hubs. These appointments are offered when your baby is over one year old, and again after your child turns two.
The health review provides the opportunity to review your child’s development and discuss any questions you may have about their health, growth and behaviour. Our staff are trained to support and advise families about staying healthy, and supporting your child’s play, development, behaviour, sleep, dental care, immunisations, and minor ailments.
You can collect a Bookstart pack and learn more about the wider opportunities available for your child within the borough, including access to childcare and specialist services if required.
If your child is aged over 15 months or over 27 months and you have not been contacted, you can call the 0-19 team at 0300 033 6200 or email thgpcg.wf0-19spa1@nhs.net. If you are unable to attend the offered appointment, please contact us and we can rearrange for you.
To find out more about service, or to speak to a Duty Health Visitor, call 0300 300 6200.
This is a Best Start in Life session. When you see Active Ashton you can expect a session to promote your child’s health.
