HOSPITAL SERVICES
The Doctors refer to a wide range of hospital consultants based mainly at Cheltenham, Oxford, Warwick, Worcester, Banbury and Evesham. General Out-patient Clinics, Physiotherapy, Chiropody and X-ray facilities as well as Day Hospital Services are available at Moreton-in-Marsh, Shipston-on-Stour, Evesham and Stratford Hospitals.
The Doctors have admission rights to Moreton Hospital where patients who do not need the facilities of a large District General Hospital can be treated or be cared for following treatment in one of the larger hospitals. Dr Bointon also has special responsibility for care of the elderly at Moreton Hospital.
The Doctors are qualified in minor surgery, paediatric care, family planning and obstetrics. The Surgery has facilities to carry out investigations normally done at a hospital and is unusually well equipped for a small rural surgery. We do not charge for the loan of equipment, but a donation towards expenses is always welcome.
CAMPDEN SURGERY EQUIPMENT FUND—Donations can be made direct to the Surgery—these should be designated for Campden Surgery Equipment Fund.
