About us
Although outwardly we may appear to be a "stereotypical small rural dispensing practice" - first impressions can be deceiving! Our premises were extensively renovated in 2019 and now provide a first class medical environment for staff and patients alike. As a practice we are also forward thinking & innovative, and always strive to provide outstanding levels of patient satisfaction. As a direct result our practice list size has increased significantly in the past 18 months, and now stands at approximately 5,700.
We are also situated just off the A1 junction - so are highly accessible in terms of commuting.
We foster team working across the practice, from GPs that have an 'open door' philosophy for staff queries, to our practice nurses having dedicated admin and nurse meeting time.
What our patients say about us:
- The medical staff at Tuxford are top notch and the service and support from every part of the surgery including the dispensary is excellent. They completely defy all the negative press about the NHS(Dec 2024)
- Very fast turnaround - same day patient call back and telephone assessment for a same day appointment at the surgery. Even the pharmacy had the prescription ready before I returned to reception. Very impressed with their ongoing service(Dec 2024)
- The health Center is superb such a vast uplift from what it was a few years ago. Who ever was involved in the changes needs to be told how much their work is appreciated. (Nov 2023)
