Forrest Medical Centre

Forrest Medical Centre This is the page for Forrest Medical Centre, a GP surgery in Canley, Coventry We often have two trainees at one time.

We are a large, friendly practice, with a list size of approx 10,500 patients. We have six GP partners and one managing partner, as well as two salaried GPs. Our aim as a practice is to provide high quality, evidence based care for our patients. We are a forward thinking, innovative practice, keen to adopt change, and are well supported by our team of professional reception and nursing staff. All

the staff working in our practice are committed to enabling you to enjoy the best possible health. This involves us making ourselves as available to you, offering flexible surgery times, providing the best care and medicines within the resources available to us, and keeping you involved and informed at all stages of your care. To help meet the full range of your needs we will sometimes have to work closely with other agencies, for example: hospital and community NHS trusts, local authority services (e.g. social services & housing departments) and voluntary agencies. We aim to play our part to the full in providing co-ordinated care varied to meet your unique requirements. To help us achieve these objectives, we ask that you play your own role in this partnership. This involves you taking responsibility for your own health in relation to diet, exercise, smoking and other basic steps towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We will very happily provide any information or advice to help you with this. We would also ask that you take account of our needs in respecting doctors' advice, taking any prescribed medicine as directed and accessing services appropriately.

Why have your flu jab with Forrest Medical Centre?

Because we are your GP practice. We know your medical history, can check your eligibility, and your vaccination is recorded directly in your GP record.

You may be offered your flu jab elsewhere, but we would be pleased to vaccinate our eligible patients here at the surgery as part of their usual care.

If you are also eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination, we will offer this at the same appointment where possible.

🩺 AAA Screening – Know Your Risk

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screening is a simple, quick and painless ultrasound scan that checks for a swelling in the main artery in your abdomen.

In the UK, men are routinely invited for AAA screening in their 65th year. Finding an aneurysm early can help doctors monitor it and reduce the risk of serious complications.

If you’re eligible, don’t ignore your invitation — attend your screening and know your numbers. ❤️
