❗ Important message to patients ❗-

📣 Our junior doctors will be on strike from Friday 14th November - Tuesday 18th November.

Alvaston and Aston surgeries will still both be running as normal and our GPs will still be working, but you may find it harder to receive an appointment. We ask that you respect our staff and be patient with us.

NHS services will be impacted. Due to lack of appointment availability, you may be directed to 111 or 999 in some cases.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Important announcement -

From 1st October 2025, we’re changing how you get advice and treatment at the surgery.

All requests will start with a simple online form. You will be able to access these forms on our website from that date, and submit requests between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).

If you can’t complete the form online, our team will still be here to help you over the phone or in-person at reception as normal and submit requests on your behalf.

Please note that these changes do not take effect until the 1st October 2025.

This is a new service that the NHS has rolled out amongst surgeries across England, which means it is a process that is new to all of us - please be patient with our staff as we learn this new procedure.

Our website can be found following the link below - https://www.alvastonmedicalcentre.nhs.uk/ and the form will be found under 'online consultation'.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask our helpful team via email (ddicb.alvastonmedicalcenter@nhs.net) or phone us on 01332 755990! 😀
