Power has been restored, thank you all for your understanding and a big thank you to all our staff for handling the situation so well.

Service disruption: we are currently experiencing a power issue at our main surgery. For pre-booked appointments, please be aware this may affect clinicians ability to print & send prescriptions and our reception team at this site will be unable to answer phones or access records at this time. We are asking for patience as our Bennetts Road North team (CV7 8LA) will continue to answer incoming calls as they are unaffected, they will be with you as soon as they can.

Today marks International Paramedics Day 2025! Paramedics play a crucial role in keeping communities healthy and cared for in the worst of times.

We are fortunate enough to have Paramedic James Farrington on staff to help our housebound patients when they require a home visit and to assist with local care homes. We also are very lucky to have Wayne Parker our Emergency Care Practitioner who moved into primary care 6 years ago after 22 years with West Midlands Ambulance Service.

Park Leys would like to take a moment to celebrate and thank all paramedics 🚑

Did you know this fun fact about paramedicine?

Today, International Paramedics Day will honour and celebrate the essential role of paramedics, first responders and all those that support them.

With all the recent sunny weather it's more important than ever to use proper skin protection and to check your body frequently for any changes. If you have a mole or skin issue that needs checking, contact the surgery for an appointment with Wayne Parker (ECP) or Dr Smithers.

Since the recent news regarding GPs to start prescribing the popular weight loss jab Mounjaro, the practice has been inundated with requests from patients. We would like to let all our patients know that for Coventry and Warwickshire there is incredibly strict criteria for those who are eligible and currently we cannot prescribe these injections at the surgery. Should a patient qualify, the GP will refer them to the Primary Weight Management Service who will arrange the funding and get the patient started. We appreciate the wait times to get an appointment with these services can be very long, as a GP we unfortunately have no control over this.

If you think you may qualify, we are kindly asking patients to submit an e-consultation so we can accurately review each patient and to better manage the current high demand. The link for this is on our website and in the comments below.

Please understand the NHS is rolling this out in phases and things may change. For more detailed information on this, please visit the Happy Healthy Lives website, linked in the comments.

Road closure warning! From Monday 9th to Friday 13th June, part of Bennetts Road will be closed. While only a small section of road will be closed (near Keresley United Reformed Church), this will make transport between the two surgeries located on Bennetts Road South and Bennetts Road North difficult due to diversions. As we have three locations please take extra care to confirm where your appointment will be held. We may need to reschedule your appointment if you arrive at the wrong location.

Bennetts Road South, CV6 2FL: This is our main practice, located inside of the Keresley Green Medical Centre which is shared with Springfield Medical Practice. This location is opposite Keresley Coronation Club and is just before the B4098 road that takes you towards Coventry city centre. The number 16 bus route will take you to a stop located just outside the surgery.

Bennetts Road North, CV7 8LA: This is our smaller village practice, on the corner of Exhall Road (New Road if coming from Ash Green), located by Keresley End. You can find it between Keresley Community Library and the small parade of shops (Crest Pharmacy, One Stop, Village Fish Bar, Premier Chicken) and the number 16 bus route will also take you just outside this surgery.

Fillongley, Coventry Road, CV7 8EQ: This is our smallest practice and our only dispensing practice. It is located on the bend, just before the start of Fillongley village. If coming from Coventry you will pass Fillongley Village Hall on your left and you can find the practice on your right. Regretfully, there is no direct bus to this surgery. The 735 bus route will take you as far as Fillongley with a 10 minute walk towards the surgery and the service is not as frequent as may be needed so we recommend alternative arrangements.

When making an appointment please let the receptionist know of your preferences; we will always endeavour to provide you with an appointment that is located at a practice that is accessible to you. If you are ever uncertain of where your appointment will be held, please call or use our e-consultation service located on our website.

Update: Normal function has been restored, thank you for your patience.

E-Consultation service is currently unavailable.

The software we use to manage our e-consultation service is currently experiencing technical difficulties resulting in the practice being unable to view any e-consultation submissions at this time. Full functionality will hopefully be restored soon and we hope this will not result in any lost requests. We have had to temporarily suspend any new e-consultations, we ask you please try the service later or call the practice on 024 7633 2636.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
