THE BLACKBURN SPECIALIST CENTRE

We have a range of visiting Specialists and Allied Health Professionals who consult at various times throughout the week and each one of them are separate entities to the Blackburn Specialist Centre and to each other.

Since 2011 General Practitioners from Blackburn Clinic have also practiced at the Blackburn Specialist Centre.

While we do handle appointments for certain Specialists, other Specialists and Allied Health Professionals need to be contacted at their main room to make an appointment to see them at the Blackburn Specialist Centre.

Ample car parking and disabled reserved spots are available on site at the centre. The main Entrance is on Maple St, with an undercover drop off area at the entrance of the centre and courtesy wheel chairs are available inside the foyer at the main entrance.

The Blackburn Specialist Centre is located opposite the pharmacy once you are inside the building.

HOURS OF OPERATION

BLACKBURN CLINIC GPs at BLACKBURN SPECIALIST CENTRE

Since 2011 a small number of General Practitioners from Blackburn Clinic have practiced at Blackburn Specialist Centre. Over the years this number has grown such that more than half the visitors to Blackburn Specialist Centre are there to see a General Practitioner.

The Blackburn Clinic, located in Suite 5 of the same building, is a Family Medical Practice that was established by Professor Neil Carson in 1952.

Patients are welcome to see GPs at either or both Suite 2 (Blackburn Specialist Centre) or Suite 5 (Blackburn Clinic). Patient records are shared by the two sites and the same mission, values, medical standards, policies and procedures are shared by both sites.
