We offer a comprehensive childhood immunisation programme.
Children will automatically be informed by the Child Health Computing Service in Bath that their immunisations are due. They will be invited to contact the surgery to make an appointment for their immunization injection.
The Immunisation Clinic is run by Sister Mariam Carpenter and Sister Jane Wosika every Tuesday and Wednesday at the surgery.
We strongly believe that prevention is better than cure and feel that it is essential that children are protected against these potentially serious diseases
