Surgery Times

BROOMFIELD PARK MEDICAL CENTRE
Appointments are available between 8.00 and 11.20am and 2.00 until 5.40pm, depending upon which doctor you wish to see. (Please note that we are closed on Thursday afternoons.) We do offer pre-bookable appointments on a Monday evening up until 7.40pm. We also offer a limited amount of pre-bookable appointments for Broomfield patients early on a Saturday morning at the University of Warwick Health Centre.

THE HEALTH CENTRE - WARWICK UNIVERSITY
We also have a practice at the University of Warwick serving the students and staff (plus their families) of the university who live on campus or within the catchment area. There are regular surgeries and a leaflet giving full details of the arrangements at the university health centre is given to all patients who are registered with this practice. The university health centre is a designated yellow fever centre.

Medical notes for these patients are held at the university health centre and patients would normally be seen only at the university unless the health centre was closed and it was an emergency.

A nurse is always present to attend to dressings, injections and minor injuries. She also holds clinics for sexual health, contraceptive advice, cervical smears, travel advice and vaccinations and new patient registration checks.

An NHS physiotherapist is available at the health centre to deal with sports injuries and other muscle or joint problems. It is necessary to be referred by the doctor before seeing the physiotherapist. There is no dental service at the university health centre.

DISABLED ACCESS
Disabled access is via the main entrance. All consulting rooms and treatment areas are on the ground floor. If you are hard of hearing, please tell us as we have the 'hearing loop' system.
