It's important to book your midwife appointment As Soon As you're Pregnant - and to see a midwife as early as possible to get the antenatal (pregnancy) care and information you need to have a healthy pregnancy. We have Michaela and Emma based at our Practice who will oversee your care once they know you are pregnant.
You can refer yourself via www.mtw.nhs.uk or if you can't refer yourself online then contact 01892 638158 or 01892 644488.

Tomorrow (Saturday 11th October) sees our second large vaccination clinic in the Royal Victoria Place to provide our eligible patients with their flu vaccines. This will take place in the “pop-up” unit opposite Sports Direct (1st floor, not far from Marks and Spencer).
Running from 09:15 to 13:30, patients who have booked are asked to come along at their appointment time, have their coats off and arms ready.
We also offer the opportunity to have your blood pressure checked.
Our clinicians are looking forward to helping prevent our patients become seriously ill with influenza and our receptionists will meet patients and sign them in. See you there tomorrow!

We have just been advised by SGN that they will need to close Upper Grosvenor Road from the central one-way system down the road past the practice from Friday 10th October 2025 until Friday 24th October 2025.

This means there will be NO ACCESS for vehicles to Grosvenor Medical Centre.

In light of this we have taken the decision to relocate all afternoon appointments for TOMORROW ONLY (Friday 10th October 2025) from Grosvenor Medical Centre to St James Medical Practice (11 Carlton Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN1 2HW) and have already informed all affected patients.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience, and are working hard to continue to provide all patients with care despite these ongoing works which are out of our control.

Patients also need to be aware there are also currently 4 way-traffic lights currently at the Sandrock Road junction with Carlton Road and St James Road.

07/10/2025

We are closed today from 12:30 for staff training. We will re-open as usual tomorrow (Wednesday 8th October 2025).

Please be aware that access to Grosvenor Medical Centre by vehicle is SEVERELY RESTRICTED due to the ongoing roadworks along Upper Grosvenor Road. The road will be fully closing outside the Grosvenor Medical Centre building later in the week so access to it will only be on foot.
