Three of the Walsall Council’s Family Hubs have opened new clinical spaces.
The rooms, opened in partnership with the NHS, will allow parents to book medical appointments for their child at Hubs, opposed to alternate locations such as hospitals.
Appointments which families can book include antenatal assessments and development checks.
The council launched four Family Hubs in the borough during 2023, offering a range of essential services for families all under one roof.
The new spaces mean that should they wish to, families can attend appointments and health checks up to five times before their child is one years old.
April 2024, over 300 babies have been registered in a Family Hub, which goes to show our families do want these services made local to them. “
Appointments at the clinical rooms will be led by healthcare professionals and will run the same as appointments at other medical venues.
Parents visiting the Hubs have already shared some feedback about the rooms. One parent said, “This is brilliant news as I can now walk to my nearest Hub for almost anything I need. I always feel safe and welcome here.”
For more information about appointments at our Family Hubs, please speak with a healthcare professional.
