In order to protect patients, staff and members of the public during the current outbreak of Coronavirus, Spectrum Community Health is now running a reduced service. These changes are in line with national guidance and are vital to ensure that vulnerable patients are protected from COVID-19.
Trinity Walk Clinic is operating telephone appointments during the hours below.
