Macmillan nurses are on hand to provide support for all palliative patients.

Macmillan registered nurses are specially trained staff, who have a wide range of education and experience in palliative care. They are in contact with the local GPs and work as part of a multi-disciplinary team of health and social professionals, co-ordinating care and providing continuity between hospital, hospice and home.

The level of involvement of the Macmillan nurses can vary from telephone advice to a single meeting or continued support over a longer period, depending on individual needs. Referrals are made by the GPs or in a hospital clinic.

 A midwife from Northwick Park Hospital attends the medical centre on alternate Fridays.
Once a lady is referred for antenatal care, she is called for her “booking in” appointment by the hospital she has chosen to have her baby at. Subsequent appointments can be made with the midwife here at the surgery, regardless of where baby will be delivered. We recommend that patients see the midwife for their antenatal care whenever possible, as they are able to offer the most up-to-date specialist support and advice.

We have phlebotomy clinics at the Medical Centre several times each week.
These are all in the mornings, so that the samples can be taken to the hospital
laboratory at  lunchtime. Most tests can be carried out in house, but you will be
asked to make an appointment at The Wealdstone Centre if you need a Glucose Tolerance Test.
