Contact & Booking

Cancellation appointments – Lots of families are asking for cancellation appointments. Any cancellations are allocated to families who have already booked an appointment with me. I do not hold a cancellation list. I will review the initial assessment form submitted by families and allocate cancellations based on the information contained within this form. So, please complete this form as soon as you get your booking confirmation email.

If you believe your baby needs to be seen urgently and there are no appointments within the next few days then please contact me to discuss. Slow weight gain or weight loss, inability to latch and sore/damaged nipples would be reasons for me to try to fit a baby in sooner to be seen if I can.

Holiday July 2024

I am taking time off from Thursday 27 June 2024 until Monday 15 July 2024 so I have no appointments available until Monday 15 July 2024. Please do not book in for 15 July onwards unless you are confident you can wait. I will not be answering queries about refunds for cancelled appointments whilst I am away. In my absence alternative practitioners can be found here

Choosing clinic location

I only offer appointments in Somersham (Huntingdon) on Wednesday mornings. Appointments on other days are all at Burwell (Cambridge). For families coming from Peteroborough, Huntingdon and St Ives areas the Burwell clinic is still very accessible and will often not add a significant amount to journey time unless you travel is rush hour. It is very unwise if you are experiencing breastfeeding issues to wait a week or more to be seen in Somersham because breastfeeding difficulties tend to escalate and there is almost always availability in Burwell much sooner. So check both clinics for available appointments please.

Please read your booking confirmations emails on the day of booking and follow the instructions carefully. I am finding that families are needing a lot more help and information regarding feeding and general baby care at the moment so there is a lot to fit into an appointment. Much of the administrative side of the consultation can be completed before I see you if you take the time to fill out the forms included in the booking confirmation. It also helps me to identify those families that may need some help and support from my via email or video call whilst waiting to be seen. As private practitioners we do not have access to your NHS heath records so the questions we ask within the forms are an important part of keeping the care we provide safe. The alternative to requesting forms are completed before the appointment is to extend the length of appointments. But this will increase costs and reduce the number of families I can see and increase waiting time. Fees for services will then need to increase significantly which I want to avoid. Thank you.

IF THERE IS A HISTORY OF BLEEDING DISORDERS IN THE FAMILY, OR YOUR BABY HAS A HEART CONDITION OR OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING.
