Childhood Care & Immunisations

Sliabh Medical Practice provides care for children from their very first weeks of life. As part of the Maternity and Infant Care Scheme, we carry out the two-week and six-week developmental checks for newborn babies, along with postnatal reviews for mothers — all free of charge under the scheme. Babies then attend for their childhood immunisations at 2,4, 6, 12, and 13 months, following the national HSE immunisation schedule. Beyond vaccinations, we look after children of all ages for everyday illnesses, rashes, chest infections, injuries and developmental concerns. We are a family practice, and we understand the demands of parenting — there’s nothing worse than a sick child, and we will always do everything we can to help. If you’re worried about your child, please contact us.
