[02:19.13]WOMAN:Can I help you?
[02:19.81]MAN:Yes, I've just moved to this area with my wife and children and I'd like to know where we can all register with a doctor at a Health Centre.
[02:28.97]WOMAN:Okay.
[02:29.81]Well, there's Doctor Green at The Harvey Clinic.
[02:34.70] We always recommend her for babies , because she's very good with them and she runs a special clinic.
[02:39.32]MAN:Oh ...
[02:40.13]actually my youngest child is five, so that wouldn't be any good for us.
[02:44.85]WOMAN:Right.
[02:46.20]MAN:Is there anywhere else I could try?
[02:48.84]WOMAN:Yes, the Eshcol Health Practice is the next one on my list.
[02:54.32]MAN:How do you spell that?
[02:55.84]WOMAN:E-S-H-C-O-L.
[02:59.31]And it's Doctor Fuller, who has space on his list.
[03:02.73]The clinic only opened a year ago, so the facilities are all very modem.
[03:06.96]MAN:That sounds good.
[03:08.60]WOMAN:And it's particularly good if you're busy during the day, because they also do appointments in the evening.
[03:13.84]They're closed on Saturday, though.
[03:16.72]The only other place on the list is the Health Centre on Shore Lane.
[03:20.73]You can register with Doctor Gormley, that's G-O-R-M-L-E-Y.
[03:28.33]He's new there, but the centre has a very good reputation.
[03:31.98]MAN:Oh yes, I think I know the road.
[03:34.44]That would be the best one.
[03:36.28]Thanks.
[03:37.63]Could you tell me, will all their services be free?
[03:40.97]WOMAN:Erm… there are usually some small charges that doctors make.
[03:45.73]Let me see what it says about the Shore Lane Centre.
[03:49.51](Q5-6) If you need to be vaccinated before any trips abroad you won't have to pay for this.
[03:54.73]Erm, what else?
[03:56.81]The sports injury treatment service operates on a paying basis, as does the nutritional therapy service.
[04:04.14]Some health centres do offer alternative therapies like homeopathy as part of their pay-to-use service.
[04:11.60]Shore Lane are hoping to do this soon - I think they may start with acupuncture.
[04:16.20]And finally , (Q5-6) if you need to prove you're healthy or haven't had any serious injuries before a new employer will accept you , you can get a free fitness check-up there , but you'd most likely have to pay for insurance medicals though.
[04:30.78]MAN:Okay, thanks.
[05:14.99]WOMAN:You might also be interested to know the Centre is running a pilot scheme of talks for patients.
[05:20.33]I've got the list here.
[05:21.88]Actually, they look very interesting.
[05:23.85]MAN:What sort of things?
[05:25.37]WOMAN:Well, the first one's about giving up smoking.
[05:28.90]It's next week, the twenty-fifth of February, at 7 pm. and that's in Room 4.
[05:34.70]It says, the talk will stress the health benefits particularly for people with asthma or heart disease.
[05:41.70]MAN:That sounds very interesting.
[05:43.13]WOMAN:There's also a talk for families with children.
[05:46.12]It's on Healthy Eating, and takes place on the first of March at five o'clock.
[05:51.75]MAN:Will that be at the Health Centre?
[05:53.79]WOMAN:Erm, actually it’s at the primary school on Shore Lane.
[05:57.82]I imagine they're inviting the parents of pupils there - it says here "all welcome".
[06:02.20]MAN:Mmm, I might go to that if I have time.
[06:04.88]WOMAN:There's a couple of other talks — one giving advice about how to avoid injuries while doing exercise.
[06:11.59]It's on the ninth of March.
[06:13.81]Oh, it's a late afternoon talk, at four thirty, and it'll be in Room 6.
[06:20.20]It also says the talk is suitable for all ages.
[06:23.80]And finally, there's a talk called Stress Management which is...
