Antenatal Clinics
Every Friday morning 09:30 – 12:00 the community midwives are available. Appointments can be made at reception.
Doctors J Bhogal and K Griffin are all on the Obstetric list for Gwent.
If you have recently found out that you are pregnant, firstly congratulations! It is advisable that you meet with the midwife before you reach 12 weeks to book in with the hospital or team you wish to deliver your baby. The options of where you have antenatal care can be discussed at your first appointment with the community midwife. When you are ready, please contact the practice with full details of your name, address and telephone number which will be passed on to the midwife. A midwife from the Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr hospital will contact you to arrange an appointment at hospital or in your own home.
Postnatal Care
Postnatal care is given by our midwife who will look after both you and your baby. The doctors are available for help and advice. Six weeks after the birth is an ideal time for your postnatal check with the Doctor. Please contact the practice for an appointment.
Child Health Surveillance - Immunisation Clinic
Held every Wednesday afternoon 13:30 to 15:00 this clinic is run by a practice nurse for immunisations and a doctor for 6-8 week old checks. Your child will normally be sent an appointment, but if this is missed for any reason then you may bring your child along on any Wednesday. Pre-school boosters are due from the age of three years and four months. If you are unable to come along to baby clinic then you should book a routine appointment with a practice nurse.
