Welcome to Stourport Health Centre Medical Practice

The practice is part of the complex containing Stourport's library, police and fire stations, as well as the local health centre. We are a partnership of four doctors, two male and two female, all working full time. There are approximately 8300 patients. We are an approved training practice—we train doctors to become GPs. We are also a PMS pilot practice. 

NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM

Please bear with us.  On May 23 we are moving to 2 new computer systems for holding patient medical records, and also for running the appointments system.  This will unfortunately mean some disruption to surgeries and to appointment availability, both before and after the computer systems change.  We will be working hard to get services returned to normal as quickly as possible, but please bear with us during this time.

NEW PREMISES

The surgery has been based in the County Council buildings for many, many years.  The doctors have invested time and money over the years in an attempt to let the premises "keep up" with the scale and range of services which we wish to provide for our patients.  NHS Worcestershire, identified some years ago that this Practice was in need of new premises.  To that end we are now working to secure new premises for us, from which to look after our patients.  The old Tan Lane School site has been secured as a potential site for new premises for us.  New premises are not guaranteed because of funding uncertainties within the NHS.  We have however started the long process and we will of course let our patients know when we have more to report.

DR GIBSON IS NOW ON MATERNITY LEAVE

Dr Marie Gibson is now on maternity leave, and will be back with us again in September.  Whilst she is away,  Dr Clive Prince on a Monday and Friday, and Dr Lizzie Follows on a Tuesday and Wednesday are now working at this surgery, to help look after our patients.  These two doctors are a very welcome addition to our team.   

LOOK OUT FOR NEW LETTERS

We are trialling using a new company to send our letters to our patients, when we want to call them in for review, or send out information etc.  This company does the postal work for many GP Practices and financial institutions.  

 Importantly, we will still be the people writing the letters and deciding the information you need to have. 

We hope this will provide a quicker and more efficient way of sending letters to you.
