website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that
we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and
informative.
Our practice is one
of the oldest in the town, being founded just after the First World War in a converted
house in the centre of Southend. It expanded into a health centre in the mid 1970s.
We offer a family-orientated practice, covering general medicine and offering
a wide range of other services. We are fully computerised and have a large ancillary
staff.
