The childhood immunisations are carried out by our Practice Nurse when she is on duty at a time convenient to you.
It is necessary for a consent form to be signed by a parent of the child for EACH immunisation. If someone other than the parent is bringing/accompanying the child for the immunisation please contact the surgery to arrange signing of the consent form prior to the immunisation appointment.
