Waiting area

What is a Health Hub?

We have a health kiosk in the corner of each waiting area.  These allow patients to answer a variety of health questions from our library of over 18 questionnaires ranging from mental health, contraception (pill check) or use the machine to take your vital signs (weight, height and blood pressure) measurements independently. 

The results are then integrated into your patient record using coding. This streamlines the patient flow without compromising on care whilst capturing data, saving clinical time, freeing up appointment time and providing your clinician with up to date information on your health.

More and more patients are realising the benefits of using this machine so when you next visit, why not try it out?

This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment.

If you are ex-forces, please let your GP know to help ensure you are getting the best possible care.

Did you know that there are some free NHS health services you can access without needing an appointment with your GP? This is called self-referral and could help you find the care you need quicker and more easily than going through your surgery.
