Patients may use the hospital of their choice.
A group of midwives look after patients in the area and have weekly clinics and classes at the Dunmow Clinic. Patients can contact them at the clinic. Also based at the clinic are the health visitors, who will be able to assist and advise patients with the care of their children, up to age of five years.

The surgery has a policy of "zero tolerance" to violent, aggressive or abusive behaviour, whether physical or verbal, towards our staff.
