Make an appointment to see one of our Doctors.
In addition to their addiction treatment programme , all Fresh Start patients have access to general health services through our GP clinic. The GP clinic is open four days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays). Patients also have access to counselling, mental health and chaplaincy services and are able to make an appointment on any of these days. Our hepatitis C treatment clinic usually takes place on Tuesdays.
While we encourage our patients to see their own doctor, all Fresh Start patients have access to our team of General Practitioners.
