Primary care in Watford

“GMC is a fantastic GP surgery. All of the GP’s are very knowledgeable and kind and are able to provide guidance tailored to your needs and very efficient. I always feel comfortable with what I need to do and reassured when necessary also. The reception team are brilliant and always willing to help where possible and Kate especially has become a lovely familiar face over the years. I cannot recommend the GP surgery enough and am so appreciative of their support since I registered a few years ago. An example of what a local GP surgery should be. Well done team!”

“Really good club to train at, fantastic instructors. Would really recommend it for anyone wanting to get into martial arts.”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“I attended a breastfeeding support group today and I found the staff at reception to be so welcoming and helpful and friendly, we also attended a play session afterwards for toddlers and the staff were amazingly warm and supportive and inclusive. I think it is one of the best experiences I've had as a mother in a children's centre. It was so so nice and I can't thank them enough!”

“I was referred to St Marks late November 2024 and was offered an appointment with the surgeon mid January 2025. I thought this was a super quick referral time. I saw Mr Kapil Sahnan and from the moment I stepped into the room I felt at ease. My appointment was on time and lasted longer than I expected. At no point did I feel rushed. Mr Kapil Sahnan has the most calming voice and explains everything in simple terms but detailed. He took on board my PTSD from previous surgery elsewhere and showed empathy. It's a rare find to find a surgeon with his knowledge and skill set combined with kindness, empathy and interest in the patient. I had my surgery last week and can honestly say that every member of staff I met were lovely, professional, and kind when I was worried. Mr Kapil Sahnan's medical team are as amazing as him. A special shout out to the anaesthetists and theatre staff. I felt really safe and looked after at all times. I found the hospital to be spotless. I was on Gladstone 2 post op and everyone who looked after me were so kind. I found the ward to be organised, even the food wasn't too bad! I had robotic surgery and would highly recommend this hospital.”
