Health Check Clinics

At Queensway, we are aware that prevention is better than cure. For this reason, we are now delighted to offer our patients between the ages of 40 and 75 a five-yearly Health Check.

If you are over 40 and have not been offered a health check but would like one, please contact us at the Surgery. For those patients who have not had the required blood tests done within the past 6 months, this will need to be arranged before an appointment can be given.

The clinics are aimed at patients who are not being seen regularly for chronic conditions and involves a blood test to look at your cholesterol levels and to check that you are not anaemic or possibly becoming diabetic.

Our nurses are trained to look at your results together with your height and weight ratio (BMI) and work out how healthy (or otherwise) your heart is. We look at your lifestyle, family history and diet and work with you to help you to stay fit and well or to improve your current fitness and quality of life.

The intention is not to lecture or judge but to offer an holistic approach to better health.  We also offer additional facilities and clinics that might be useful for our patients looking to improve their fitness, lose weight or stop smoking.

Learning Disabilities Health Check Clinics

Please note, if you or a family member has a learning disability, we have clinics tailored for this purpose.  The checks are very thorough and are carried out by staff trained in learning disability assistance and includes an examination by one of our Specialist GPs who will complete the examination and prepare a plan of care.

If you would like to be booked into this clinic please contact the Surgery to arrange a blood test followed by an appointment.

Minor Surgery

The surgery has a well-equipped day-case operating theatre and recovery unit. We offer minor surgery. These operations are performed by experienced GPs. Full information will be given to patients when appointments are booked. This unique service means that appropriate patients will not have to attend the hospital for these procedures.

Referral for operations is by GP only.

Smoking Cessation Clincs

We are delighted to offer help to patients who wish to give up smoking.

Our staff have been trained by the National Centre for Smoking Cessation to offer a comprehensive service with a full initial consultation and regular follow up clinics. We are able to offer support and prescriptions for medication where required and would be very happy to make an initial appointment for our current patients wishing to take up this service.

We are very proud at Queensway to have been the third most successful service in Southend to help our patients to quit within the first few months of offering this programme!

Please contact the Surgery and ask to speak to Sharon Marsden who will be able to send you an appointment as soon as possible.
