Parenting a child is a new experience, and there is no such thing as a “silly question” in learning the boundaries of what is safe or unsafe for your child.

We aim to provide practical advice in a nurturing setting. It is vital that developmental problems of any kind are identified as early as possible to enable effective intervention, as children’s “early years” can make the most impact.

All our Doctors and Nurses at EFP have a specific interest in Children’s Health and are experienced in assessing, diagnosing, and managing children’s health issues.

We provide:

• Baby checks, including 2 weeks post-natal
• Immunisation, including catch-up vaccinations
• Mental health checks
• Identifying developmental issues
• Nutritional advice
• Additives that are not good for you. Too much salt can put your blood pressure up, make your kidneys work too hard, and too much sugar can cause weight gain, which puts you at risk of Heart Disease and type 2 diabetes. If you have any questions about how you can improve your diet, speak to our Doctors or Nurses.
• Drink lots of water to keep the inside of your body clean and healthy. Try not to have drinks that have a lot of sugar, including fruit juices, cordials, and soft drinks. These might taste great, but they aren’t good for anyone!
• Talk to our sexual health Nurse if you need a check-up for infections, or if you need help with contraception to prevent pregnancy. If you would prefer to talk to a male, we have a male GP who can help you with these things too.
