Child Health Services

Immunisations

Your child’s first immunisations are normally given by one of the GPs at a Post Natal appointment at 8 weeks after the birth of your baby. Immunisations after that are generally given by the nurse.

You can find out more about your child’s immunisations in our
Child Health section. Please remember to always bring your child’s red book to the appointment.

Child Health Surveillance

The doctors and health visitors carry out 8 month and 3 1/4 checks on Wednesday afternoons. The health visitors will send an appointment when the check is due.

Health Visitors

The health visitors' job is to help people stay healthy and to advise on prevention of illness. Health visitors are qualified nurses who have done extra training in childcare and development, and health promotion. All pregnant women and families with young children have a named health visitor; but they are also available to patients of all ages, and can advise on a wide range of social and health topics.

They can be contacted in their office at the Surrey Docks health centre, Monday - Friday between 9.30 and 4.30
Telephone: 0207 231 3085.
