Janet Woodhouse is our community midwife and holds ante-natal appointments on Wednesday from 11:00 to 12:00. When you think you may be pregnant, you may wish to confirm it with a pregnency test from the chemist. Please start taking folic acid 400 micrograms daily but avoid any other medications without speaking to your pharmacist midwife or doctor first. Also avoid soft cheese, seafood and foods with unpasteurised milk.

Health Visitor

Hello, I'm Debbie Wallwork and I am the health visitor for the practice. Please phone me on 01484 344317 for advice about you or your families health. I usually work Monday, Tuesday and friday mornings. There is an answerphone if i am unavailabe to take your call.

Every Friday I run a well baby/ child clinic at the surgery between 11 and 12 0'clock. No appointment is necessary.

I have a special interest in sleep, dietary and behavioural concerns in children, so if your little one will only eat jam sandwiches or wakes you up twenty times each night!, please ring me to have a chat or arrange an appointment. You never know, I may be able to come up with some suggestions, or even the odd solution!!

I am also able to give health advice to all members of the family. So if you would like information about healthy eating, safety advice for the home, keeping safe in the sun etc. please give me a ring.
