Additional Healthcare Services

 

Find out more about additional services available at Estuary View Medical Centre

Whitstable Medical Practice is striving to bring as many clinics as possible into the community. By setting up these clinics we have provided NHS services to patients providing care closer to home with shorter waits at less cost to the NHS. We hope that this in turn means a better patient experience.

Your GP may refer you to these clinics in the usual way. This is to make sure you are aware that they are available at Estuary View Medical Centre.

You may elect to access these clinics when booking your out-patient appointment through the national e-referral system.
