Lister Health Centre - what time is the baby clinic

[Bellenden Belle]

So the health visitor said 1.30pm, and my doctor's receptionist said 2pm.

Anyone been recently that can confirm - half an hour with a little one can make a big difference!

Have you ever been to this baby clinic before? I left the surgery after repeated bad experiences. It did start at 1.30 a year ago but you want to be getting there 15 mins early to line up and get a number. When you do line up, be prepared for swathes of folk to then push in front of you when the numbers are released. I asked a lady not to push in and she threatened to kill me and my baby when we left the surgery.

Sorry to be so negative and hope it has changed in the last 6 months?

Yep, I have been before - and had "interesting" experiences there. Crazy queues and yes, lots of irate mums. But let's face it its catchment area suggests those parents may have a whole lot more on their plates than you and me.

I stay because I really, really like the two doctors I see there. They listen, they have a conversation, they're excellent in my opinion.

But the receptionist was wrong and yes, the baby clinic is 1.30pm, not 2pm.

Yep, totally understandable. I liked the doctors there too.
