Home visits & hospital
admissions
egent Street Clinic understands that healthcare needs exist 24 hours per day, and that in an increasingly busy world it is not always easy to find time to attend a medical clinic at a mutually suitable time.
The need to see a doctor can occur at the most unexpected and inopportune of times. Current out of hours service provision can lead to difficulties in accessing speedy medical help and treatment by a doctor, especially if the situation doesn’t warrant a trip to the local Accident & Emergency department.
Regent Street Clinic is delighted to offer a new visiting doctor service starting March 2013, to cover addresses across the whole of the East Midlands in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, 24 hours per day.
Our team of experienced general practitioners are UK trained and offer a high quality, personal service in a professional, patient-centred manner.
Our doctors are able to issue medications, injections and prescriptions on-site, as well as arranging blood tests, hospital admissions, out-patient appointments or any other necessary investigations as required
