Important announcement -

From 1st October 2025, we’re changing how you get advice and treatment at the surgery.

All requests will start with a simple online form. You will be able to access these forms on our website from that date, and submit requests between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).

If you can’t complete the form online, our team will still be here to help you over the phone or in-person at reception as normal and submit requests on your behalf.

Please note that these changes do not take effect until the 1st October 2025.

This is a new service that the NHS has rolled out amongst surgeries across England, which means it is a process that is new to all of us - please be patient with our staff as we learn this new procedure.

Our website can be found following the link below - https://www.alvastonmedicalcentre.nhs.uk/ and the form will be found under 'online consultation'.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask our helpful team via email (ddicb.alvastonmedicalcenter@nhs.net) or phone us on 01332 755990! 😀
