Consultant and Specialist Clinics
The Pinn Medical Centre accommodates a number of specialist clinic traditionally seen in a hospital outpatients department. These clinics are run by teams of consultants from Northwick Park Hospital or St.Mary's Hospital. Specialist GP’s and specialist nurses from harrow see patients, at The Pinn, who have been referred by their own GP’s, for specialist management.
The numbers, and types, of clinics are growing as more and more hospital services are being delivered closer to patients.. This means less expensive and time consuming trips for patients to hospital.
At present the following clinics operate at the Pinn, but they do require prior referral by your GP:
Cardiology
Gynaecology
Urology
Diabetes
Musculo-skeletal Services
Paediatrics Clinics
Dermatology clinics
Gastroenterology
