Mum to be Whooping Cough Vaccination/RSV Vaccination
This injection, administered to the mother between 28 and 32 weeks gestation, safeguards against Diptheria, Tetanus, and Whooping Cough. It not only protects the mother but also provides immunity to the infant for several months post-birth, making it a crucial component of each pregnancy. The RSV vaccine must be given 2 weeks before or after the whooping cough vaccine and should be done before 36 weeks of pregnancy!
Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation

Postnatal Depression Screening
Off site
Book a slot in my diary and I'll send you the screening form to complete. I will review and anaylse it personally, get back to you with feedback, and recommend the most appropriate therapist or doctor if needed - all at no charge. Postnatal depression is more than just feeling emotional or tired after having a baby. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, feeling overwhelmed, crying often, struggling to bond with your baby, changes in sleep or appetite, and feeling hopeless or withdrawn. Early treatment is so important because it helps support both the mother’s wellbeing and the baby’s emotional and developmental needs. With the right support, care, and treatment, mothers can recover and feel like themselves again, and no mother should feel ashamed to ask for help!

12 Year Booster Vaccination
At the age of 12, a single vaccination of DTaP and IPV is offered, with the option to include cervical cancer (HPV) vaccinations. The most common side effects are a mildly sore arm on the afternoon or the next day, occasionally accompanied by a slight headache and a temporary "off" feeling for a day or two post-vaccination. It's reassuring to note that children can typically resume their normal routine, including school attendance, on the day or the following day of vaccination.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Immunization
Vaccinations against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) are initiated at the age of 9 years for both boys and girls. Gardasil 9, though pricier, offers protection against an additional 5 strains compared to Gardasil 4, enhancing the spectrum of immunity provided. This choice ensures a more robust defense against HPV-related health risks, underscoring the importance of comprehensive protection for individuals from an early age.
