Whenever possible please try to attend the surgery.
We usually only visit at home for our housebound and very elderly patients. Unfortunateley lack of transport is not a reason for the doctor to visit and so we would ask you to arrange a lift from a family member, friend or neighbour before considering a taxi.
Alternatively you could contact one of these groups in the area...
Getting to the Medical Centre - LIFT Scheme
If you have difficulty getting to the Medical Centre and live in the Lenham area, a new group of volunteer drivers may be able to help, they may also collect prescriptions for you. To enquire about the service or to volunteer, please get in touch with either Bob Breens (telephone (01622) 858159) or Alf Smith (telephone (01622) 859802).
FISH SCHEME - Harrietsham Helping Hands.
This Scheme, which covers the Harrietsham area, has been in existence for well over forty years. Among the services that we offer is assistance for those residents who require help in getting to the surgeries, collection and delivery of medication, and other essential tasks.
