Current Power Failure

Unfortunately due to underground electrical issues in the area, we have no power at Potterells Medical Centre. 

We therefore have limited access to clinical records. We currently have no computers, telephones and or lighting in the practice. 

Calls to Potterells Medical Centre are currently being diverted through to our University branch and the staff there will do their best to help with your query. We ask that you please call for urgent queries only during this time. 

We are sorry for an inconvenience and hope to be back to full capacity soon.

Healthier Together

"Improving the health of babies, children and young people throughout Hertfordshire and West Essex" 

Healthier Together - a community initiative

The Healthier Together programme relies upon patients and healthcare professionals working together to improve how local healthcare is delivered. The website provides advice for parents, young people and pregnant women, and clinical resources to support healthcare professionals – which means that your child is likely to receive consistently high-quality care, irrespective of which healthcare professional they see.

If you are looking for advice on symptoms, have queries around vaccinations, worries around mental health and wellbeing, or the social and financial aspects of daily living, the Healther Together webpage could help you.
