Find health help with NHS website and app
The NHS in Kent and Medway has a free website and app to help you find the right treatment, especially when you are not sure what to do or who to contact.

Available at www.healthhelpnow-nhs.net, it works on smartphones, tablets, and computers. To find the downloadable apps, just search Health Help Now at the Apple Store and the Android Google Play Store.
Expansion of Surgery Premises
Ivy Court Surgery would like to extend their practice building to accommodate the increasing population of Tenterden and continue to develop and enhance the service they already provide. The current building is now too small and there is a need for larger premises.
East Cross Clinic (opposite the surgery by the car park) is underused and would make an ideal site for the development of a new state of the art Primary Care centre. Ivy Court have made repeated attempts over 20 years to acquire and develop the East Cross Clinic site.
We would be grateful if you could sign our online petition if you wish to support us and our application to develop the East Cross Clinic Site.
With many thanks and best wishes.

BBC COVERAGE AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PRIMARY CARE AWARD RUNNER-UP!
Ivy Court Surgery is pleased to announce that it featured on BBC 1 on The Sunday Politics Show at 11am on Sunday 26th October!
The piece focused on our Weekend Urgent Care centre which was started in Tenterden on 1st February with support from the Ashford CCG, and has become a successful service for our patients. We have worked together with local surgeries in Hamstreet and Woodchurch to extend this service to over 25,000 patients in our locality. The weekend service was also nominated for the National Association of Primary Care 'Most Productive Joint Working Initiative' award and we are delighted to have been awarded Runner-up last week out of over 65 national projects!
We are very proud of this achievement and the improvement of care for our patients and hope to continue to develop innovative solutions to the problems faced by our NHS. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all of our patients who continue to support us year on year.
RURAL COMMUNITY WEEKEND URGENT CARE SERVICE
The Weekend Urgent Care Centre, which was started over 6 months ago as a pilot service operating at weekends 9am-12pm at Ivy Court Surgery, has proved to be a valued additional service to our patients and has offered the reassurance of seeing a local GP should an urgent healthcare need arise over the weekend.
We are now about to embark on an exciting collaboration between three neighbouring practices: Ivy Court Surgery in Tenterden, Woodchurch Surgery and Hamstreet Surgery - to extend this level of care to all of our patients and which will support the sustainability of the service.
From Saturday 6th September onwards the service will be provided at Ivy Court Surgery on a SATURDAY MORNING ONLY and will be provided at Hamstreet Surgery on a SUNDAY MORNING ONLY.
The service will operate exactly as it does now with a walk-in service for patients registered to any of the three surgeries who would otherwise have called 111 or attended A&E, but will be located at Ivy Court Surgery on Saturday between 9am and 12pm and in Hamstreet on a Sunday morning 9am-12pm.
There will be a receptionist, a nurse and GP staff who will all be from our three practices, but may be working outside their own practice. We aim to continue to offer a high quality Service and the reassurance of seeing a local GP for Urgent Care needs in a local surgery. In order to maintain the success of the service we would like to remind our patients that we will be unable to deal with routine queries.
