Hope House is pleased to announce its face-to-face community clinics are up and running again. Due to Covid-19 our clinics at Coleford Health Centre, Stroud, Cirencester and Tewkesbury community hospitals, Hartpury University, Hartpury College and the Royal Agricultural College, have been restricted to telephone and video consultations only.
In the wake of the pandemic we reinstated face-to-face clinics at Hope House in Gloucester and The Milsom Centre in Cheltenham, and these have been running for some time now. We are delighted that ‘normal service has now been resumed’ at our community clinics and we are able to offer face-to-face appointments once more.
Hartpury University, Hartpury College and Royal Agricultural University clinics are for students only, and these clinics will resume at the start of the new academic year in September 2023.
