SERVICES:

|
 We
are extremely lucky to
have a fantastic midwifery
team locally who offer
a very personal level
of care. This is reflected
in the high rate of planned
home deliveries in this
area, which we are happy
to support, although the
majority of patients choose
to go to Colchester Hospital.
We can also arrange for
you to have your baby
at Cambridge, Bury St
Edmunds, Chelmsford, or
in the small community
delivery suite at Halstead
Hospital.
When you find out you
are pregnant come and
see us and we will refer
you to the midwives, who
can be phoned on
01787 291032.
|
| TODDLERS: |
We
aim to offer a child friendly
surgery at Castle Hedingham.
We offer all the usual
baby immunisation, and
if you have any worries
about your baby or toddler
please don't hesitate
to come and see us.
We
will always speak to you
or see you on the day
if you feel your baby
or toddler is unwell.
Please don't hesitate
to call.
