AMC Nurse Practitioner Catherine Keil is starting a Well Baby Clinic (WBC) from October 2022. Well Baby Clinics deal with the total well-being of children and include developmental health checks and immunisations. Parents have the option to book into the WBC at their child’s 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 4-year check. GP’s are still available, if preferred, with the 6-week check still being undertaken by the Doctor. Appointments are available on Thursday mornings at our Health on Washington site. Please phone our friendly reception team to book your appointment.

We are a parkrun practice and encourage our staff, patients and the community to get involved with the local parkrun event held every Saturday morning at 8am from the Coulthard Reserve in Nuriootpa. This is a free event, all you need to do is register via the link below. You can walk, jog, run or volunteer and is a great social event for the community.
