The doctors and staff at Wellington Medical Centre in Somerset are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centered healthcare. We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery and childhood vaccinations.
Between 8-8:30am and 6-6:30pm Monday-Friday we offer an emergency only service. Patients can still access us by telephone for medical emergencies during these times, by calling 01823 663551. Following installation of a new telephone system please be aware that all incoming and outgoing calls are now recorded for training and quality monitoring.

Services
All the partners are enthusiastic about training so doctors are supported by the whole practice. At times some consultations are recorded on video for training purposes. We usually have two registrars in post. Past trainees have enjoyed having another registrar in the practice to share clinical problems with.
In conjunction with the doctors, the Community Midwifery Team provide a complete service of maternity and post-natal care for you and your baby. Messages can be left for the Midwife at the Medical Centre but for urgent advice from a Midwife telephone 01823 343 985. If you are in labour, the same telephone number can be used.
The practice nurses offer appointments for a range of services including asthma, diabetes and coronary heart disease reviews, cervical smears, referral for smoking cessation advice, wound dressings, removal of sutures, ear syringing, blood pressure checks, travel advice and vaccination* (including Yellow Fever), doppler tests, new patient checks, anti-coagulation monitoring and blood tests.
The practice manager Lydia Daniel-Baker is responsible for the management of the Medical Centre. If you have any queries, problems or suggestions to improve our services, please ask to speak to her. Alternatively you can write to her. We have an excellent team of Patient Services and Administration staff who work either in reception or in one of the general offices but all are trained to help you.
If you are a Carer, help and support is available to you. If you are a patient of the practice, please let us know, as we have a register of carers. We have a carer support group that meet monthly at the practice, and there are a number of other dedicated agencies and support organisations who may be able to assist you.
