Formerly known as The Birches Medical Centre, we’ve proudly served the Kesgrave and surrounding community for over 30 years. Now, we’re entering an exciting new chapter – with a new name and a renewed commitment to exceptional patient care.

Welcome to Embrace Medical Centre – a name that symbolises our values of care, community, and compassion.

You may have noticed some positive changes happening at our surgery in recent times – including easier access to appointments, helpful Care Navigators, and the introduction of new management and GP partners committed to delivering a better patient experience.

We wanted to choose a name that truly reflects our ethos and our approach to patient care – one that captures our inclusive, supportive, and compassionate way of working. Embrace represents the way we care: warmly, holistically, and always with you at the centre.
