WELCOME TO PRINCES PARK HEALTH CENTRE
The practice originated in 1925 when Drs Barron and Caldwell joined together
to form a new practice in Devonshire Lodge in Seaside. It moved to the Winifred
Lee Health Centre (now The Apollo Centre) when it first opened in 1974 under
the leadership of Dr Craib.
The practice gradually expanded and outgrew the 'Wini Lee' and after several
years of searching for a new site, The Princes Park Health Centre was built and
opened on 1st January 2000. The Winifred Lee Health Centre was then redeveloped
and re-opened as The Apollo Centre in July 2002.
The Princes Park Health Centre runs entirely NHS services. The Apollo Centre
has a mixture of private and NHS services.
The practice has nine permanent doctors and visiting GPs and other associates
when required. This is part of a team of primary health care staff that also
includes practice nurses, district nurses, health visitors, community midwives,
Macmillan nurses and support from reception, secretarial and managerial staff.
Our aim is to provide the fullest possible care which includes maternity services,
contraceptive services, child health, certain forms of minor surgery as well
as the usual medical care. Services are also available from attached staff including
a podiatrist, audiologist, retinal screening, full digital X-ray service and DEXA scanning, Orthopaedic CATS service.
• The health centre has access for the disabled

• There are nappy changing facilities on the
premises.
• Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the
