We offer a range of clinics and services at the surgery. There are some tasks you can do, such as health reviews, using our online forms.
Wound care
We do not provide post-operative wound care. In Havering Post operative wound care including dressings, suture removal etc is provided by the Hurley Group at the Harold Wood Polyclinic: Appointments can be booked by phoning 0203 416 7711.
Upminster Medical Centre
Taking blood samples
If your Doctor has given you a blood test request form, you can find all facilities providing blood test services on the form. For further queries please contact our reception.
GP requested X-rays
If your GP has requested an X-ray scan, please contact Queen’s Hospital on 01708 435369 to arrange a time and date and they will tell you whether or not to come to the clinic for your X-ray or else where. If you have booked your X-ray to be done at the polyclinic then simply bring your X-ray form along with you for your appointment and speak to one of the reception staff. If you have not pre-booked your appointment your X-ray will not be performed.
Registered GP service
Patients can choose to become a registered patient at the clinic as long as they live in our catchment area. As a registered patient you will have access to the full range of GP services. If you have any questions or wish to register feel free to visit the clinic or call to speak to one of the reception team, or register on this site using our online registration page.
Travel clinic
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on Travel Health Pro.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
Travelling in Europe
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European Union website.
Flu vaccinations
Each year, in early October, we begin our Flu campaign. We invite patients who are over 65 and those with certain conditions to attend for a vaccination.
