Droitwich Medical Centre

Repeat prescriptions can be collected between 11am-1pm and 2pm-6pm. At other times of the day the dispensary team will be available to answer any questions and queries you may have. In addition to the practice's normal opening hours, and additional surgery opening times as stated above, you can also book an appointment to see a local clinician in the evenings or on Saturday and Sunday at locations across South Worcestershire.

The telephone number for appointments is - 01905 622900. Please try to telephone for an appointment before 10.00am, especially if you need to be seen the same day. Emergency appointments can be arranged at short notice in cases of true need, but please telephone beforehand rather than arriving at the surgery unannounced.

Same day appointments are for patients who are acutely unwell and require medical attention the same day. We respectfully ask that patients carefully consider their symptoms when requesting one of these appointments and consider "do I need to see a doctor with this?" so we have enough appointments for patients who are acutely unwell and need to see a doctor the same day.

You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay). It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work.

The Surgery is manned during these times and any telephone calls or enquiries will be dealt with by a member of staff. Chest pain, severe bleeding and severe shortness of breath require an ambulance - please call 999. If your symptoms are not listed above, from 6.30pm until 8.30am the next working day, and at weekends, please call NHS 111 for medical advice.
