What’s Included in Your Child’s Health Check
Why Child Health Checks Are Important: Regular health checks are essential for monitoring your child’s overall health and development. These assessments go beyond vaccinations and early illness detection, offering parents peace of mind. With regular check-ups, you can ensure your child’s health is being carefully monitored during these critical growth years.
During the Child Health Check: You’ll spend 50 minutes with one of our expert GPs, who will review your child’s health history, home and school environment, and any potential risks of future illness. This thorough assessment provides a holistic view of your child’s well-being. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss any concerns about your child’s health, including nutrition, sleep, growth, development, behaviour, and schooling.

Our child health checks typically include a thorough history taken from you and your child (if they are old enough to participate). The doctor will review their medical history and discuss different aspects of their general health and well-being—for example, nutrition, sleep, and behaviour. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination, including growth and development assessments. Depending on the child's age, we may also suggest vaccinations, recommend vision and hearing screenings (via external partners), and offer advice on preventive healthcare to keep them happy and healthy in the future.

If your child is struggling, we can suggest onward referrals or support if needed.
