Thanet Primary Care Treatment Centre

Following the outbreak of Covid-19 the practices in Thanet, in conjunction with Thanet Health CIC came together within a matter of days to create a location where people with symptoms or contact of Covid-19 could be seen.

This was Initially provided at the Sarr Day unit (which EKHUFT very kindly and generously allowed to be used) and now changed to the new site at the Garlinge Surgery, so people in Thanet continue to have a facility in which any person with symptoms or contact of Covid-19 can be treated.

Located at the Garlinge Surgery, beside Westbrook House, Canterbury Road, Westbrook

The site is located at the Garlinge Surgery, beside Westbrook House, Canterbury Road, Westbrook.
