When the surgery is closed, if you are in need of urgent medical attention, please dial 111 to contact the NHS 111 Service. How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?

You can also use the local pharmacy to order your repeat medication and they will make the request to us on your behalf.
I am originally from the Brighton area but trained in London for my medical degree. I moved up to Cumbria in 1998 to become a GP and joined the Wigton practice in 2005. My special interests are contraception and sexual health and dermatology. I am an active member of a church in Carlisle and love travelling to the far-flung corners of the globe.
We are the only GP practice in Wigton which is a market town about 11 miles West of Carlisle. We are a semi-rural practice with a list size of approximately 8800 patients which has increased in recent years with new housing developments in the area. Some community services are based with us in the new building.

Every doctor I've seen is really helpful. Always has time for you. I am not from this area and I can't believe doctors can be so helpful and friendly. The receptionists all have time to say hello and goodbye to you instead of the usual grunt that I received when I lived in Cheshire. I just want to say to all the staff at wigton surgery you are doing a brilliant job. Thank you x
