I think we all have times of uncertainty, be it from small, day-to-day dilemmas to bigger work and financial worries, and sometimes the trouble is prioritising these things (which is the main quandary I had) but whatever the problem, I'd thoroughly recommend having a chat with Theresa for help with a new perspective and clearer outlook on things. And the best thing is you can use Skype if you're not local to North Kent or you prefer the comfort of your own home from time to time! Thanks Thalassa :-)

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.

I contacted my Chiropractor in Australia and ask her to recommend the best chiropractor in the UK. She said "Dr. Christian at BodyWell and look no further, he'll get you sorted!" So I did and they fitted me in and after just one adjustment, I was moving like a spring chicken again. I've been back again to make sure everything was in good order before setting off on my travels BUT the most important thing I've learned is, how great it is to have a chiropractor in every corner of the world to look after me. By the way, I am 85 this year and that is the reason why I have a Chiropractor on my health team, to allow me to travel independently for as long as possible. Thanks Dr. Christian and thanks to the team at BodyWell, you've served me well!

The appointment systems is based on either a planned appointment (regarding continous treatment) or a book on the day. The appt line is open from 8am but the line gets very busy. If you are unable to get an appt then you can visit the nurse-led minor injury clinic, be warned that waiting times for this do vary, one day you can go straight in and thenext you can be waiting for hours (once again this is dependent of clinics running at the time). Overall I have had mainly positive experiences of this practice.

It's set out in quite a jumbled fashion, but it makes discovering all they have to offer even more exciting! Between us we purchased Spanish and Italian olive oil, whitstable sea salt, beetroot juice, glycerine soap and Brazilian coffee. Other than the unusual food items there were many herb and plant products sold for medicinal use, candles, cosmetics and gift items. A really eclectic range, but all products that felt a little special. The lady that runs the shop was lovely, chatting with us about her travels in South America and places that she knows in Brighton. I would definitely pop back in here next time I'm in this neck of the woods.
