This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative.
Welcome To The Practice
Welcome to the Church Street Practice, established in 1971 by Dr John McIntosh and Dr Robert Griffiths. The practice has grown and is now served by six family doctors with the support of a large health care team.
We have three surgeries in Bishop's Stortford:
Church Street Surgery in the town centre, Thorley Health Centre at the Sainsbury's supermarket site in Thorley Park and Haymeads Health Centre at the Herts and Essex Community Hospital. All three surgeries have easy wheelchair access and toilets suitable for the disabled. There is car parking available at Thorley and Haymeads Health Centres and there are three car parks close to Church Street Surgery at Apton Road, Basbow Lane and the multi-storey car park in Jackson Square. Church Street Surgery has Market Square and Church Street entrances (wheelchair access via Church Street entrance only). Medical records, repeat prescriptions and our appointments system are all on a linked computer system and patients may be seen at any of the surgeries.
PATIENT GROUP
Our group is set up.
Ideally we would like some younger patients to join the group as, currently, this age group (under 40s) is under represented. If you are interested in joining or require some further information then please contact the practice or go to the Patient Group tab above.
OPEN ACCESS at HAYMEADS HEALTH CENTRE
We hold a book on the day appointment system at Haymeads Health Centre every weekday morning. You just turn up and book in at reception between 8.30am - 10.00am and you will be given an appointment for either a GP or Practice Nurse. You will be seen in order of arrival and given an appointment time and can then either wait at the surgery or call back later nearer the time of your appointment. You may be asked to be seen by a practice nurse (see below). They are highly qualified and will be able to help with many medical conditions.
PRACTICE NURSES
We have one of our Practice Nurse team based at Haymeads Health Centre each weekday morning. They treat patients suffering with the following conditions:
Flu-like symptoms, sore throats, sinus & headaches, earache, sticky eyes, skin rashes, cystitus, thrush & vaginal discharges and contraceptive problems.
Simply arrive at Haymeads Health Centre between 8.30am - 10.00am and ask to see the nurse.
Routine appointments with Practice Nurses are also available at Church Street Surgery and Thorley Health Centre.
APPOINTMENTS NOT KEPT
During April we had 51 appointments booked by patients who then did not attend. If you are unable to keep your appointment please cancel it to enable us to re-book it.
Appointments can be cancelled even when we are closed; just ring 657636 and when the voicemail message commences press "1" which will take you to the automated appointment booking service. Thank you.
