St Martin's, Basildon: Healthcare

Healthcare in St Martin's works well enough, though you'll need to look just outside the neighbourhood for a GP surgery — all 6 are right on the edge of the boundaries. The good news is you're not far from what you need. There are 2 dentists within the neighbourhood, which is genuinely helpful given how stretched NHS dental provision is across the country. You'll also find 1 pharmacy locally, with 4 more nearby. There's a clinic in the neighbourhood and a hospital within easy reach. The main thing to consider is GP access. You'll register with a practice outside St Martin's, which is pretty standard for smaller neighbourhoods. Just check waiting times and availability before you sign up.
