Stop Closure of the Whetstone Baby Clinic!
I want them to stop the closure of the Health Clinic at St Andrews Medical Practice in Whetstone. The clinic is run by an experienced Health Visitor, Ann and is open every Thursday morning between 9.30 and 11am. It offers advice and monitor the health of babies and young children.
Why is this important?
The first year of your baby's life can be the most challenging especially for a first time mother. So having the drop-in Clinic was a lifeline for me. They provide child developmental checks and the opportunity to discuss concerns with, for example, sleeping, feeding and child illnesses. Knowing I would be seeing the same Health Visitor at each visit was also reassuring. It is the only service in the locality and is extremely popular, with mums queuing for some time to be seen.
Please help us save this service!
