Laurels Healthy Living Centre

The Laurels Healthy Living Centre is an award-winning facility designed to improve local healthcare access by providing joined-up care to residents right on their doorstep.

Originally part of the New Deal for Communities initiative, it is now managed by The Bridge Renewal Trust. Opened in 2004 in Seven Sisters, Haringey, the centre, alongside Bromley by Bow, was one of the earliest neighbourhood healthcare models, offering a new model of care in the community that brought together GP practices, district nurses, and therapy services all in one place, putting the needs of residents at the centre.

Newborn Hearing Screening Service

The NHS provides a Newborn Hearing Screening Programme to all babies.

Screening is provided seven days a week and is usually carried out in the hospital before the mother and baby are discharged. For babies born at home, or for those who weren't tested while in hospital, we will offer an appointment in one of our community clinics within four weeks of birth.

Blood Tests

You do not need to be a patient at St Ann's Road Surgery to have blood tests, but blood tests must be requested by your GP and booked on Swiftqueue before coming.
