We believe parents should be able to monitor their child’s health annually and have valuable time to address their concerns with an experienced paediatric consultant. While NHS checkups stop around 2 to 2-and-a-half years old, your child’s health can be assessed right through until their 18th birthday.
Your child’s check-up will include the following:
There will also be the opportunity to discuss any additional bloods or scans with our paediatricians and, if appropriate, they will organise these at Midland Health or externally. It is worth noting, additional fees will apply for these and they will be discussed with you during your child’s appointment.
During your child’s health check-up, our paediatricians can also help advise and ensure your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date. With your consent, they can help coordinate the administration of vital vaccines to help get your child’s immune system boosted and strong.

Please note: All paediatric patients will need to see our Health Care Assistant (HCA) ahead of this appointment for a general observation and urine dip. For the health check-up, please can you ensure you bring in a sample of your child’s urine sample on the day, or provide one at the end of your appointment with our HCA.

Health visitor assessments are not always mandatory, but they are recommended in many countries to monitor a child's growth and development, offer support to parents, and ensure the child's well-being.
