Welcome To The Kenmore Medical Centre This website will give you and your family all the information you require.
Dr Julia E Huddart
Practice HistoryKenmore Medical Centre provides primary care services to its registered list of approximately 12,500 patients. The surgery doctors and nurses offer a wide range of clinical skills and the whole surgery team is committed to providing good quality care to our patients. In order to maintain good quality services the surgery limits registration only to those patients residing within the defined practice area. Non-UK citizens registering with the surgery are advised that doing so may not necessarily entitle them to free access to other NHS services (eg hospital treatment) and they are advised to clarify their individual situation with the Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust. This website is intended to help you make best use of the surgery facilities and we are grateful to the Kenmore Patients Group for their significant contribution to the content and layout. Medical EmergenciesManagement Of Sudden Chest Pain In AdultsIt is important that there is no delay in your being assessed and treated for a possible heart attack if you experience sudden chest pain. The quickest way to do this is to dial 999 – telephoning the surgery will only cause delay. Once an ambulance call has been made the crew will notify the Accident and Emergency department that you are on your way. This will alert the cardiac team to be waiting with equipment and drugs – with a heart attack, the quicker these drugs are given the more effective they will be. You do not need to be concerned that your pain may turn out not to be a heart attack – there can be false alarms – but getting to A & E without delay offers the best chance of a good outcome if you are having a heart attack. (This advice has been disseminated by the Macclesfield A&E Consultant to all surgeries in the area.) Access and Parking for Disabled PatientsFor patients in wheelchairs or unable to climb the steps at the main entrance, there is a ramp access at the opposite side of the building (approach to the Co-op Pharmacy). A bell at the surgery door will summon assistance from the receptionists. Consultations in ground floor rooms can be provided for patients unable to get to the upper floors. This may cause some delay until a ground floor room becomes available. A "Disabled Parking" space is located adjacent to the access ramp. Non-disabled drivers are requested NOT to use this space. Car ParkingSpaces for parking up to 30 cars are provided within the practice grounds, available only for use by patients or visitors to the surgery. You are asked not to leave your car parked there after your surgery visit is finished. At busy times the surgery car park may be full, so why not make life easier and get fitter by walking or cycling to the surgery. The practice would like to thank the various advertisers who have helped to produce this Website.
