I have been a patient of Hollie and Michele for a number of weeks, they have been excellent. They have listened to my thoughts, treated me with care and respect. Appointment times have been fitted around my work as much as possible. My leg has now healed thanks to their care and I am so grateful to them. Thank you girls for all your care and support. Excellent service.

The new eConsult system is excellent. I simply filled in the online consultation form which was then responded to within a few hours and I was sent an appointment for in a few days time which is great as was non-urgent. I saw one of the advanced nurse practitioners who was very kind and helpful with my referral. I didn't wait long to be seen which has been a big problem for me before. My appointment lasted 15 to 20 minutes. I am very impressed with the new system and hope it stays in place.
The new appointment system is so much better! It means that I can book an appointment at a time that suits me. The staff are so genuinely caring and really listen to you.
The online consultation worked brilliantly again with a response received and an appointment suggested - really a great step forward in both diagnosis and securing an appointment.
Overall great service from Wellington Medical Practice. They've always dealt with any medical problems I have with professionalism. Well done to the team.
Didn't have to wait too long for appointment and was seen by very nice doctor. Very happy thank you.
Appointment System
1A) Please use E Consult First
From 18th December 2023, we are using a new system called E consult. Patients are requested to fill out an e consult request. All E consult are reviewed by a member of the clinical team. We hope that the divert to e consults will reduce call wait times.
1B) For those unable to use the online form/dont have access to the internet use the phone and call 01952 226000.
Please note there will be wait involved if patients chose to phone the practice. We encourage patients to use the e consult platform.
Depending on the content of your contact to the practice (E consult or phone)
2a) A face to face appointment at the surgery.
2b) A telephone/video consultation if your presentation can be dealt with over the phone rather than face to face. This may include a text message response
3c) Advice and signposting to other services that can help without the need for an appointment at the surgery. This includes using community pharmacies.
Why do receptionists ask such personal questions?
Receptionists are a vital part of the practice team. Their questions are to ensure that you are seen by the right person at the right time, and all answers are kept confidential.
Why am I seeing someone who is not my GP?
Not everyone needs to see a GP. Many practices now offer appointments with other healthcare professionals, including nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, physician assistants, mental health workers and paramedics. This ensures you see the right person for your condition as quickly as possible.

Our guiding principles as a practice are summarised below
For our patients
The right care at the right time
We aim to deliver safe and fair healthcare for our patients at the appropriate time based on medical need. This will involve the use of allied health professionals to provide a wider variety of clinicians for patients to see.
Working together with patients to deliver a holistic health service
This means we may not always prescribe a drug. Tablets are only part of the treatment for most medical problems. We will guide patients to other resources or sources of help and will work closely with other organisations to support our patients.
Promoting self-care
We aim to helping patients better understand their conditions through support so patients have confidence with their medical problems. This is especially important for long term conditions like Diabetes and High blood pressure. It is equally important for self-limiting problems like viral illnesses.
For our staff
Every member of staff at Wellington Medical Practice is a healthcare provider, not just our doctors.
Our reception and admin team are as important as our clinical team.
Our reception and administrative team have been involved in our new patient care pathways, have shared patient experiences with the clinicians to help improve care and have been a major part in recent changes to the services to deliver better patient care.
Likewise health care is delivered by our administrative team without whom services would not be able to function.
Our nurses and our health care assistant teams deliver high quality care and services as detailed in the ‘Services’ page above.
We support our staff in a happy work environment so they can support our patients.
We value our staff and will help each other deliver effective health care. We will also ensure our practice is a friendly, safe and supportive atmosphere to work in.
For our future NHS
We will encourage and train the next generation of health care providers.
We will continue to train allied helath professionals and other members of the clinical team and administration team.
We would like to thank our patients who see our as it will help train the next generation of health care providers.
We will continue to train our reception and admin staff to continue to deliver high quality health care for our patients.
