Booking in for your appointment
On arrival you can book in via reception or by using the self-service check-in computer.
Dispensary
We are allowed to dispense to patients who live more than a mile away from a pharmacy.
Those patients who would like their prescription emailed to their local pharmacy please inform the practice of your nominated pharmacy so we can send prescriptions electronically directly to them.
Triage Service & Routine Appointments
We would like the majority of our patients to use the eConsult system. Please use the link on the front page of this website and submit your problem.
All of the eConsults will be triaged by one of our clinicians and allocated to the appropriate person. The Clinician dealing with your request will either reply to your eConsult via email, telephone you, do a video consultation or arrange for you to come to the practice to be seen face to face.
If you telephone the practice the staff will ask you why you are calling and what medical condition your would like to discuss. This is so the on-call Clinician can book you with the appropriate clinician. Not all patients need to be seen by a doctor. Some patients will be booked with the Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Associate, MSK Specialist, all of whom are specialist in particular areas.
Other Services provided at Swineshead Medical Group include:
MSK Specialist - Faizan Hamid - Faizan is a highy qualified physiotherapist who will make an initial assessment of a patient with orthopaedic problems.

“Chaplaincy volunteers work in a non-denominational manner”
We are lucky enough to have a chaplaincy volunteer attached to the surgery called Carol.
This service is available to all, regardless of faith or belief. You do not have to be referred by a GP, nor do you have to be a member of the church to access this service. The chaplaincy volunteers work in a non-denominational manner and are happy to assist you with whatever your spiritual needs, difficulties or questions are.
