Childhood Immunisations

We strongly recommend that all children receive their childhood immunisations. Please call to book your appointment with a practice nurse.

• If anyone other than the authorised parent brings a child for immunisation, written consent must be provided by the parent.
• Please check the following points before bringing your child to the surgery:
• Is your child suffering from a feverish illness?
• Is your child taking steroid treatment?
• Does your child suffer from a severe reaction to eggs?
• Has your child suffered from a reaction to previous immunisation injections?
• Has your child got a high temperature?
• If the answer to any of the questions above is 'yes', then tell the nurse prior to immunisation.

Child Surveillance

We offer this service to children who are registered at the practice. Your child is offered development checks at regular intervals before school age. The health visitor may carry out some of these checks, often at home. This will enable you to discuss any problems and ask any questions concerning your child's immunisations, development and behaviour.

Antenatal Clinic

The midwife holds her routine antenatal clinic on a Tuesday afternoon. Your first ante-natal appointment is for one hour and these appointments are held on a Wednesday afternoon.  Please call reception to book an appointment.  Please note that you do not need to book an appointment with the GP to confirm your pregnancy.

Anticoagulant Clinic

An 'in-house' anticoagulant clinic is held twice weekly at Baddow Village Surgery, providing a convenient and comprehensive service.

Cervical Smear Screening

In line with health authority policy, we recommend a smear every three years until the age of 50 and then every 5 years until the age of 65, unless greater frequency is advised. To ensure maximum accuracy, it is advisable to have a smear taken between 10 and 14 days from the first day of bleeding.

Minor Surgery

All partners perform some surgical procedures, albeit you may be referred to another partner for a particular operation in which they have special experience.
