My Mum (Mrs. Shirley Back), had to have an ultrasound here yesterday (21st Sept. 2017)…read more.. We got there extra early, to find the department. Looking at the map, a lovely porter stopped and directed us and then a man in a light green shirt, just asked us where we were going, and practically took us there. All the staff we met, were friendly and professional. We arrived 15 minutes early, and got seen in 5.... What a great hospital, keep up the good work!

I entered the Step by Step Lighthouse facility back in October of 2018, having been at the lowest…read morepoint of my active addiction. I was entered into the facility by my family, but I went along with it as I knew (even without wanting to accept it) that I needed help... something very hard to accept when you aren't ready but the staff prepare you for your stay and keep you on track each step of the way. Each week I was given a 'recovery task' (plus extras) to aid my recovery and this is something I look back on weekly, reminding me of the help I received and to be grateful that I am still here to tell my story. Fast forward 6 months, to April of 2019 and I have successfully completed my university degree and will be passing with honours. I for one wouldn't have managed to finish my degree without the tools and coping mechanisms and the understanding of recovery which each of the staff helped me grasp and take in each and every day within my 3 week stay. The feeling of success & gratitude wouldn't be sitting with me as it is, nor would I be walking across my ceremonies stage in cloak & gown next month at graduation without all of the help the Step by Step, Lighthouse recovery teams gave me. Forever grateful and living it day by day, Matthew

I write to say thank you for the firstclass treatment I received at Estuary View on Sunday…read moreafternoon. I had fallen flat on my face and a friend took me to Estuary View Medical Centre. The Reception Staff were welcoming and very efficient. The Triage Nurse, who I saw within minutes of my arrival, was also very efficient and kind. The Nurse who dealt with me after a wait of only an hour was superb. She was calm, patient, thorough, totally professional, delightful and in whom I had complete confidence. All absolutely brilliant. Many, many thanks. Wendy Conway

(Please note that the position of the medical centre on the map is incorrect due to the building…read morebeing part of a new development) The Estuary View Medical Centre is a minor injuries unit. It is situated just outside of Whitstable and is easily accessible from the dual carriageway or the centre of town. It is well signposted and is open from 8am - 8pm seven days a week. Me and my partner were recommended to visit this centre following advice from an out of hours surgery phoneline. On arrival it was clear that Estuary View has had a lot of money invested in it's construction. It is in attractive building with adequate parking and easy transport links. It is staffed by Emergency Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Healthcare assistants who are able to offer limited treatment to patients. As this is a minor injury unit they do not operate at the same level as an A&E department. However they do have the ability to conduct X-Rays. They can also refer you to a doctor at a local hospital (Margate A&E). My partners problem was not able to be treated at this centre but the nurses contacted the specific department in A&E and essentially saved us a long wait as the doctors knew we were coming. I believe that if more money was invested in facilities and staff rather than appearance the centre would most likely take more stress off hospitals than it currently does. Although my partner was not treated there she commented on how polite the staff were and how quickly her issue was dealt with.
