Maternity

All our Doctors are on the Obstetric List and are happy to share in your antenatal care in conjunction with our midwives and the specialist facilities at Poole Hospital. Appointments for antenatal care can be made with the midwife or doctor.  If you are more than six weeks pregnant you can now book your maternity care directly with Poole Hospital's maternity services by filling in a self referral form.

BABY CLINIC

Child Health Surveillance and Baby Clinic

6 week baby checks are carried out by the doctors. Additionally, the Health Visitors arrange regular paediatric checks and run baby and under ones clinics. Appointments will be sent to parents for scheduled checks.

Child Immunisations

Children's vaccinations are carried out by the Practice Nurse. Immunisation is essential for protection against potentially debilitating, or even fatal, diseases. You will be sent a reminder card in accordance with the immunisation schedule. If you have any worries or concerns about your child receiving vaccinations, our Doctors and Health Visitors are available for advice.

Pneumococcal Immunisation

In most cases, this is a once only vaccination recommended for older patients and certain at-risk groups. We are participating in the Department of Health's immunisation programme and patients who fall into these categories will be invited to receive the vaccine.

BP

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

The Practice has BP machines available to borrow for patients whose blood pressure requires short term or regular monitoring and are unable to access their own. Patients are referred to this service by their doctor and will receive a letter inviting them to arrange to borrow one of the surgery BP machines. The readings can be recorded on our home monitoring form and returned to the Practice with the monitor.

 

Walford Mill Pharmacy

We are fortunate to have an independent pharmacy adjoined to the Surgery. The Pharmacist is able to offer advice to patients and liaises closely with the doctors.

Primary Care Network Services

We are part of the Wimborne & Ferndown Primary Care Network.  For more information about the PCN and services available, click here.
