is a GP practice with a difference!

We will see you if you are living in, working in, or visiting the West Herts area whether or not you are registered with us.

We provide all the services you would expect from a GP practice as a registered patient.

The West Herts Medical Centre opened on 1st June 2009 and is one of many ‘GP Led Health Centres’ which are being opened across the country, under a Department of Health initiative. This was in response to a review of the health service carried out by Lord Darzi (click here for full details), which identified that many people were unable to attend their GP practice outside normal working hours and had to take time off work if they wanted to see a GP or nurse.The review also identified that many people would like to be seen immediately they had a health problem, without necessarily having to be registered with a GP practice or make an appointment first.

West Herts Medical Centre is run by Herts Urgent Care, a Community Benefit Society, which was set up to provide urgent care and out of hours services across Hertfordshire. Community Benefit Societies conduct business for the benefit of their community. Profits are not distributed among members, or external shareholders, but returned to the community through the organisation's work. Herts Urgent Care already provide the GP out of hours services across Hertfordshire as well as the Urgent Care Centre on the Hemel Hempstead Hospital site. The Urgent Care Centre is provided in partnership with West Herts Hospitals Trust.
