Baby clinic/HV is it possible to go if not registered?

[supergolden88]

The baby clinic that was on every Wednesday at my medical centre (DMC Chadwick Road) has been suspended since January as they are doing building work.

This means I haven't been able to see a HV and get baby weighed since then. Is it possible to turn up at another baby clinic and be seed even if you are not registered with the practice? I would really appreciate it if one of you can ask and let me know...

Have you tried calling HV's (their number should be in the front of your red book) and checking with them - can't believe they've left you provision-less.

Wouldn't recommend trying Forest Hill Grp Practice - often 2hr wait for just a weight, I ended up writing a complaint to Southwark PCT PALS from the waiting room one morning!!

You should be able to pop into any baby clinic for weighing. I was always told to go wherever I wanted to. This was only in 2009. Sorry I'm not of any more help, agree with buggie ring HV number in red book just to double check.

chadwick rd is my normal hv too...apparently theyre running one at the Albrighton Centre instead, i think on wednesday afternoons, though im not sure about the day...i'm sure they'll know if you phone chadwick road?

Albrighton is too far for me in the afternoons, so i just made an appt with the nurse at chadwick road to get my little one weighed, though im not sure if she'd be able to help with other advice...
