The Doctors and Staff welcome you to The Blackdown Practice.
 
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE ‘FLU SYMPTOMS

Please follow the latest clinical advice.

In the first instance call NHS direct on 0845 46 47.

Callers will hear a welcome message advising them what to do if they are calling about Swine Flu, and will then be able to speak to trained health advisors.

Where appropriate, callers will be transferred to nurse advisors who will ask a specially developed set of questions to assess their condition and advise on the most appropriate course of action.

If you think you need medical advice, please do not go to your GP, NHS walk-in centre or other NHS premises without telephoning first.

Thank you for your consideration of other patients.

The Practice has three modern, fully staffed surgeries providing all primary care services to the residents of the practice area and with a dispensary at each site. Our list size is approximately 7250 and we cover a practice area of 200 square miles. The main surgery, with the administration and support staff, is at Hemyock. Approximately five miles away, just across the Somerset border, is the Churchinford Surgery and the Dunkeswell Surgery is five miles towards Honiton. Patients are able to obtain appointments at any of our surgeries for the services provided as the Practice works as a single organisation despite the geographical spread on three sites. Patient information is available to doctors and nurses across the practice at whichever surgery appointments are made.

The Practice is well supported by a full complement of staff offering a high standard of care. Our practice nursing team is led by a nurse manager and includes the support of a health care assistant. The practice is run by the practice manager and an administrative team of medical secretaries, office staff including clinical audit and IT support, dispensers and receptionists.

This website has been designed to help you use the services offered by the practice. It is our aim to provide a high standard of medical care in a friendly and professional manner.
