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.
