Care for children

Child health development

The practice works with the health visitors to provide child health development checks and routine immunisations. All children under school age have regular reviews. You will get a letter inviting you to attend with your child for the child development checks. The clinic for the Gowerton site is held every Wednesday from 9.30am to 12.30pm. Its on the first and third Tuesday of the month at Penclawdd at the same time. The Penybryn clinic is every Tuesday afternoon.

Childhood immunisations​

Babies have their immunisations at two, three and four months to protect from whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria, polio, HIB meningitis and meningococcal meningitis C. We offer booster immunisation to pre-school children and 15-year-olds. We also offer the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccination at 13 months and between three and five years.
