Health Care in Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes is a prosperous city with an above average percentage of the population in good health. The city has been designed so that each residential area has a doctor's and dentist's surgery in close proximity, within easy reach via the grid system and making sure healthcare is easily accessible to all.
Many of the city's health centres contain doctors' surgeries, X-ray and physiotherapy departments, mother and baby clinics and family planning centres, as well as District Nurse and Health Visitor departments. The out of hours GP service, MK DOC, provides round the clock support for patients and the NHS Walk-In Centre provides care for patients not wanting or needing the Hospital A&E facility.
The Saxon Clinic in the heart of the city provides first-class independent healthcare facilities including the latest state-of-the-art technology and on-site support services, covering a wide range of treatments.
There are a number of nursing homes within the city caring for the disabled and elderly, as well as Willen Hospice, a specialist care centre for people living with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses.
Milton Keynes has also invested in a wide range of leisure facilities and that means there's plenty to keep mind, body and soul fit and active, allowing its residents to enjoy the best possible quality of life.
