Noticeboard

Improved Access

We are now offering appointments from 6.30pm - 8.00pm one evening per week and 1 in 5 Saturday's we will offer a morning clinic. We hope this will assist patients who are unable to access the Surgery during normal hours.

GP Sessions

Please note due to a growing number of GPs working part time at Wadhurst Medical Group, please be aware that you may be offered an appointment with another GP other than your registered GP. If you wish to see a specific GP, we would advise Patients that there can sometimes be a wait due to work patterns.

Reception Changes

Please note our Receptionists will now be asking patients what the problem is on the telephone. This is to signpost patients to the best clinician for their care.

Flu Jabs

We are still offering flu jabs for those who are over 65 or in an At Risk Group. Contact us to book in.

Patient Participation Group

We are looking for patients who would be interested in contributing to the continuous improvement of services and quality of care. If you are interested, please ask reception for a form.

Online Service for Repeat Prescriptions

The service has moved to Patient Access via EMIS WEB for repeat prescribing. See Further Information Tab for more information about this service and other online services.

Patient Notice

Please avoid using the NHS111 out of hours service for repeat prescriptions.

Repeat Prescription Forms

Please leave completed forms in the black box in the surgery lobby. It will take 48 hours to allow us to process repeat prescriptions.

Travel Clinic

Unfortunately we are only able to offer a limited travel vaccine service at the surgery. This is only for those vaccines available through the NHS. There are local travel clinics available who will be able to advise and help you with all your requirements for your travel abroad.

Wadhurst Medical Group (formerly Belmont Group Practice)

The Medical Group covers the parishes of Wadhurst, Ticehurst and surrounding areas. Our main surgery is in Wadhurst where most of the healthcare is provided. The four partners, salaried GP, practice nurses and most of the administrative staff are based here.

The doctors and nurses take pride in offering the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

In addition to everything you need to know about the practice you will also find a wealth of health-related information in the menu on the right hand side. Please have a look around and do send us some feedback if you like.
