An exciting new GP surgery - West Herts Medical Centre - opens in Hemel Hempstead on 1 June.

It is under a month now until new urgent care centres open at Hertford County and Cheshunt Community hospitals in October 2009. Urgent care centres are a new service for people with relatively minor injuries and ailments that might otherwise have had to travel to an A&E department, to get treated much closer to home. The new centres will provide urgent care for people who do not have a life-threatening illness or injury. The centres will include diagnostic services such as x-rays and blood tests along with treatment areas for wound stitching, sprains and plastering minor fractures.

A new GP-led health centre is set to open its doors at the QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City later this year after the PCT signed a contract with local GPs to provide the service.
