STAFF at a medical centre are celebrating after they received a good rating from a health watchdog.

Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission visited Noakbridge Medical Centre, in Bridge Street, Basildon, in early August and delivered their report last week.

The centre received a good score in all areas of its services and management.

The centre delivers services to senior citizens, people with long-term conditions and people experiencing poor mental health.

Dr Vishal Sharma, manager of the clinic, said “Our CQC report is a reflection of the wide variety of services we offer, the dedicated care that we provide and the help and support that we give to our patients at the surgery.

“The team at Noakbridge are really pleased that our high standards of service have been recognised as we are aiming to deliver excellent healthcare during challenging times”
