Crewkerne Health Centre β Service Continuity During Middle Path Building Closure
Dear Patients and Members of the Community,
Following the temporary closure of the Crewkerne Health Centre Middle Path building due to urgent repair works, we would like to provide reassurance regarding the continuity of our services.
Service Continuity
Crewkerne Health Centre remains fully operational. All core services have been relocated to West One Surgery, West Street, Crewkerne, where our staff and clinicians continue to provide care as usual. Patients can be assured there is no reduction in services, appointments, or clinical capacity during this period.
Additional Clinics at Crewkerne Community Hospital
From Monday 8 September, we will also be running certain dedicated clinics at Crewkerne Community Hospital.
Patients scheduled for these clinics will be notified directly in advance.
A dedicated Crewkerne Health Centre reception team will be present on site to support and welcome patients.
We kindly ask patients attending the Community Hospital to follow the signage provided and liaise with Crewkerne Health Centre staff on site to ensure a smooth patient journey and to minimise any disruption to the hospitalβs regular activity.
Commitment to Patients
Our priority is to ensure patient care continues without interruption. We are continually reviewing and adjusting our operational plans to safeguard service levels and maintain patient access to care.
As part of our governance responsibilities, Crewkerne Health Centre and Symphony Healthcare Services (a subsidiary of NHS Somerset Foundation Trust) have formally notified the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) of the building closure and service relocation. We are keeping both regulatory bodies updated on all developments.
Parking Information
Please note that the West One Surgery car park operates a pay-and-display scheme. Unfortunately, Crewkerne Health Centre has no control over parking management at this site and is therefore unable to provide free parking. We encourage patients to allow extra time when attending appointments to accommodate this.
Ongoing Updates
We are committed to keeping our patients and the community informed. Any further updates regarding building works, service locations, or operational changes will be shared promptly via our website, social media channels, patient communications, and on-site notices.
The Day Lewis Pharmacy at Middle Path remains open as normal.
We would like to thank all our patients for their understanding, cooperation, and continued trust in Crewkerne Health Centre during this period of transition.
