Starting Well Partnership

Well Child Clinic is open to parents/carers with children under age of 5 in Tenbury and surrounding area of Worcestershire. Parents/ carers can book a 20min appointment with a member of the Health Visiting team to discuss any concerns you may have about your child's health and development. The clinics are there to support you through the early years of your child's life. We may be able to offer support to help you manage those daily parenting challenges, from checking your baby's weight and feeding to guiding you through gentle sleep strategies and much more. However, please do not bring unwell children to the Well Child Clinic as there is a risk of spreading infections to others in the waiting room. If your child is unwell on the day of your appointment, and needs to be seen the same day, please cancel your Well Child appointment and contact your GP or telephone 111 instead.
