We are currently experiencing problems with our phone system.

If you are waiting for a call back and have not yet received one, we will keep trying or you can contact us with an alternative number/email address.

Our phone provider has advised that there is a national phone network issue that is preventing calls out to certain carriers, currently it looks like EE, Three, Vodaphone and O2, BT and Lebara. As many landlines now are not analogue landlines, they may also be affected by national outages.

Please only contact us if your call is urgent and cannot wait until tomorrow. Thank you.

Thank you to all our patients who see our Year 3 and Year 5 medical students. This message from one of our recent students made us so proud. We love having the students here and we would not be able to do this without your support. This is the difference that you make:

"I passed the 5th year and came top of the year in OSCE [practical clinical skills] performance this year. I think this is massively due to my placement at Station Drive. Thank you so much for the teaching and support and opportunities I received... I gained so much confidence during the placement and it was definitely the highlight of my medical school experience!"

Think Twice, Order Right
Only request the medicines you need.

✅ Check what you already have
✅ Don’t stockpile
✅ Help reduce medicines waste in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin has launched a new campaign — ‘Think Twice, Order Right’ — to help reduce the estimated £2.6 million worth of medicines wasted unnecessarily across the area every year. Almost 40% of this waste could be avoided – and everyone can play a part in changing that.

The campaign’s goal is to help our health and care system reduce medicine waste, support safe patient care, and safeguard NHS resources by asking people to;

➡Check the amount of medicines they have at home before requesting more.
➡Only request the medicines they need.
➡Check their pharmacy bag before leaving the pharmacy. Returning unwanted medicines before leaving the pharmacy.
➡Ordering unnecessary medicines can contribute to shortages, create risks at home, and harm the environment.

💬 Speak to us or your pharmacy team if you’re unsure about your medication.

With hot weather across the country this week, make sure you keep hydrated.

When the weather is very warm, you may be at risk of dehydration if you don’t adequately replace the fluid you lose through sweating and p*eing. If it's not treated, it can become a serious problem.

Babies, children and older adults are most at risk. You can help to minimise the risk of dehydration by ensuring you drink enough to keep your p*e a pale-yellow colour. You can increase your fluid intake by eating foods that are high in liquids, such as jelly, ice cream, melon, cucumber or soup.
