Welcome to Delapre Medical Centre & Whitefields Surgery

surgeryThe practice is an old established town practice, originally based in the centre of town with a small branch surgery in Delapre. The practice moved to a purpose built centre in Delapre in January 1987. Two small extensions, the first in 1992 and the latest in 1997; together with other internal alterations have been carried out over the years, to produce our present accommodation. There is disabled access to the ground and lower ground floors.

The practice has eight consulting rooms on two levels and three well equipped treatment rooms and a nurse consulting room over three levels, for use by the Partners, Locum GP’s and Medical Students, 4 practice nurses, Health Visitors, District nurses and other Visiting Staff, which include the Midwife, Counsellors and a CPN.

The reception area is the nerve centre of the practice, where all patient requests for help and medication are dealt with by members of our practice team. There is also accommodation for the practice manager, Secretarial / Admin Team, IT administrator, Clinical Audit Officer and Notes Summariser. A retail Chemist outlet is adjacent to the practice.


April 2011 saw the merger of Delapre Medical Centre with Whitefields Surgery in Camp Hill.  It was at that moment when Dr Walsma, Dr Hunt and Sister Harford ceased being partners and both practices now operate under the name of Dr Hewitt & Partners.  WF_drawing

Whitefields Surgery was built in the early 80's and all the clinical rooms are on the ground floor, which make this the perfect location for anybody with limited mobility.  There is ample free parking in front of and at the rear of the building.

We are slowly seeing services being offered from both sites for all 17,000 of our patients and we hope to continue this trend.  We only register patients that live within our Practice Area

Travel Clinics

Due to a shortage of nursing staff, we have been forced to postpone the prevision of travel advice and giving travel related vaccinations.  There are a number of local private travel health centres.

 

NEW LOOK MONDAYS

At the moment we are going to trial a triage system for those patients wishing to book an appointment on the day to see a GP.  This will ONLY be at Delapre for the period of the trial.

If you wish to see a doctor, brief details will be taken (if you are willing) and passed to Dr Barrowclough, who will call you back and discuss your case.  If it is possible to give you self-treatment advice or agree that it is better that you see someone later on that day or on a different day, he will make the appointment.

Change to Opening Hours

For the next few months, Whitefields will close to patients at 5pm on Mondays and Fridays.  The Duty doctor will be available but based at Delapre.

 

Virtual Patient Reference Group

The practice is setting up a virtual Patient Reference Group to run alongside our Patient Participation Group - Please see the Reference Group page below for more details on how to join.
