At age 2 and 5 years, each registered child will be afforded an assessment to check their well-being. Please contact the surgery around the time of these birthdays to make an appointment.What is covered by this scheme?
As per the current GMS scheme, most medical checks by the GP will be covered by the Doctor Visit Card. However certain items are NOT covered such as forms to be signed for creches / schools / passports / insurance. Examinations for medical reports for sports or legal purposes are also NOT covered. While normal childhood vaccinations are free under the national immunisation program, travel vaccinations are not. If you have any queries with regards to these, please contact the surgery for further information. For further advise on management of childhood illness click here.Over 70’s Care
