Your local doctor’s surgery offers a range of services including health advice and treatment, vaccinations and immunisations, contraception and maternity services.

You no longer need to register with a dentist to get regular treatment. Simply contact a practice offering NHS dentistry and ask if you can have an appointment.

Your pharmacist provides a wide range of services. Certain services such as dispensing prescriptions, the disposal of unwanted medicines, and support for people wanting to give up smoking, are provided from all pharmacies.
-
Many optometrists have shops on the high street. They should be your first port of call if you are experiencing any problems with your eyes.
-
If you, or someone you know, needs hospital treatment or tests, you now have a wide choice as to where and when you can receive them for the majority of services.

We want to help everyone in Hackney and the City to improve their health and this means offering the right care at the right place and the right time.
