The original Health Centre was opened to great acclaim in 1971 being the first purpose built Health Centre in Kent and the culmination of Dr Macdonald’s vision for primary health care in Paddock Wood. Thirty six years later, we are working in our second purpose built Health Centre which opened in May 2006.

The Health Centre is shared with the Primary Care Trust staff and has accommodation for Doctors, Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors. Chiropody, Speech Therapy and Community Dentistry continue and there are rooms available for Counsellor, Clinical Psychologist and Community Psychiatric Nurses. The health education room is the base for ante natal classes, parentcraft classes and further education.

We have a long tradition of being a training practice with regular attachments for GP Registrars, Student Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors and this will continue in the future.

Our regularly updated website, www.woodlandshealthcentre.org.uk, is proving to be a popular information resource of the services available.
Primary health care provision is always changing and developing and we believe that Paddock Wood now has a new Health Centre to be proud of and one that will serve the community well while accommodating the developments in health care in the 21st century.

The Magpies Drama Group was formed in 1981. They put on two main productions each year, a play in Spring (farce, comedy, thriller or an evening of one act plays) and a family show in Winter (usually a pantomime) at Matfield Village Hall. It also holds a very popular Murder Mystery evening in late Summer/early Autumn in Paddock Wood. It is also involved in many other things throughout the year in Paddock Wood and the surrounding area. It always takes part in the Paddock Wood Carnival and holds a stall at the Fete in order to raise much needed funds.
