Clinics and services available at Wells Community Hospital
It is our intention to host NHS clinics and those free at the point of delivery wherever possible. However many of these clinics are not presently available under the NHS, and therefore are 'self pay'. In many cases factoring in the immediacy of being seen, and the cost and inconvenience of travel to district hospitals will make them cost effective.
