GP SURGERIES AND OTHER NHS AT CROUCH VALE MEDICAL CENTRE FROM 11 NOV
After four years of planning, discussion and construction, the three
GP surgeries in South Woodham Ferrers will be open in a modern
new facility from Monday 11 November.
Greenwood Surgery, Brickfields Surgery and Kingsway Surgery will
be moving into Crouch Vale Medical Centre, on Burnham Road near
the Sainsbury’s site, over the weekend of 9th and 10th November.
This is the first of its kind medical facility in Mid Essex – where
multiple GP practices will be providing primary care services within
one medical centre.
The new medical centre will provide a premises that is fit for the 21st
century and gives a great opportunity for integrated health provision
for the town.
The practices and other parts of the local NHS have worked with local transport
companies, charities and other NHS services that support you to ensure the smoothest
possible transition. And we are incredibly grateful to you, our local community, for
your patience during the transition.
The latest version of the FAQ for the three surgeries’ registered patients will be up on
their websites very soon along with details of transport arrangements to make getting
to Crouch Vale Medical Centre (a name chosen suggestions submitted by local
residents) as smooth as possible.
The reception desk on the ground floor of Crouch Vale Medical Centre will be
residents’ gateway to most of the services available in the new building. Medical
services ranging from GPs and practice nurses to the blood testing service from Mid
Essex Hospital Trust and voluntary groups based on the first floor will all be offered
from this new medical facility.
The practices are also sharing a newsletter with their patients covering more details
of the move and this is available on their websites.
