Changes to how we communicate with you

Text messages:

We understand that it is sometimes difficult to be available for a telephone call back from us, but as text messages are a quick, convenient, and efficient way of communicating, this is an option we would like you to be aware of.

Sometimes this can be a very useful way of providing you with specific information, links/telephone numbers, or further information.

Please let us know if you are happy for us to communicate you with this way and ensure that we have your correct mobile number on your records.

Alternative online method of consulting:

Perhaps your problem could be dealt with another way?

We are sometimes able to direct you to alternative services or perhaps deal with your problem without the need for a face to face appointment.

Please click on the 'online consult' banner below for more information.

Please note this is only for non urgent problems. We will endeavour to deal with your problem quickly, but you might still be asked or advised to book a routine consultation.

Opening Hours:

We have extended hours here at the surgery, and also at our shared hub for all the Bromsgrove practices:

New Road Surgery: late night Mondays, early Tuesday mornings, and one Saturday morning each month (first Saturday of the month, unless it falls on a B/H weekend)

BHI Parkside 'Hub': every Tuesday evening 18.30-20.00

We also have occasional weekends throughout the year at the hub covering Friday's 18.30-20.00 and Saturday's 08.30-12.30 for face to face appointments with GP's, nurses and HCA's, and telephone call appointments with a GP on a Sunday.
