A 'PIONEERING' Pinner health centre where patients can see a doctor without a prior appointment was officially opened by public health minister Gillian Merron.
The Pinn Medical Centre, located in Love Lane, Pinner, is open between 8am and 8pm and hosts clinics for cardiology, dermatology and gynaecology, as well as providing X-ray and ultrasound services.
Under a network called a 'polysystem', the clinic is linked to local GP practices which can refer the ill to the medical centre to receive the kind of specialist medical attention and procedures that can normally open be obtained at hospital.
Ms Merron cut the ribbon at a ceremony on Wednesday last week (21/10) alongside the chief executive of NHS Harrow, Dr Sarah Crowther, and Labour MP for Harrow West, Gareth Thomas.
Dr Crowther said: "It is a pioneering project that has found its perfect setting in a clean, spacious, modern, comfortable and accessible building. These are the qualities that our patients have told us they want in local healthcare and that's exactly what we're delivering.
"We're taking the NHS in a new direction, which, now more than ever, is about what patients want and how they can get involved in making choices about their own care, backed by the expertise of and relationships with superb clinicians. That's what The Pinn is about."
Mr Thomas said: "I was delighted to play a small part in helping to get the Pinn Medical Centre its current location.
"I think Dr Amol Kelshiker and his staff have done a fantastic job."
