Maternity services are provided by our local midwifery team based at the High Flyers Children's Centre in Thornaby. Once you have confirmed your pregnancy with the practice you will be provided with contact details for the midwifery team.

The Practice provides a number of basic vaccinations for travel purposes. Unfortunately, over recent months there has been a national shortage of certain vaccines which has had an impact on our ability to provide services. If you require vaccinations for foreign travel, please check which vaccinations are required for the country you are visiting. Information can be found on the links below and websites opposite.

Once you have done that please contact the practice AT LEAST EIGHT WEEKS prior to your planned date of departure.
