We are sorry to say that no doctors at the practice have their books open for new patients. It has been wonderful meeting all the new patients to the practice.
At the start of next year a decision will be made regarding reopening the books.
Kind regards, the team at Blacksmiths Family Medical Practice

Dr Bastian Joseph is still accepting new patients, particularly those new to the area or those whose GP has retired.
Dr Brianna Joseph will not be accepting new patients at this current time and for the forseeable future. We are still working through the last of the applications.

We want to thank everyone for the bearing with us while Dr Michael Joseph had some medical leave. He’s doing well but is still at limited hours currently.

🚨NEW ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM 🚨

Our new online booking system is live - Automed - You can download the AMSConnect app and find our clinic this way. Alternatively you can access the booking system via our website - https://www.blacksmithsfamilymedicalpractice.com/book-an-appointment

We are still getting used to it - You must enter the matching number that we have on file for you and this is for existing patients only.

If you click on "select appointment type" under the doctors details and follow this, It works better than if you click on the time first.

THANKYOU for your understanding while we navigate what we believe to be a big upgrade 👍
