Welcome to Bishops Waltham Surgery

We provide comprehensive NHS primary care services to help you manage your health and well-being.

Access & Parking

The surgery is accessible to wheelchair users and has disabled parking bays close to the building with a ramp to the front door. Patients unable to open the front door should use the bell to request assistance from a member of staff. The patient toilet is fully equipped for the needs of disabled users.

There is a convenient public car park just a short distance from the surgery in Lower Lane. Patients are asked not to park on the surgery forecourt as this may cause an obstruction to vehicles required for a medical emergency.

Know who to turn to for your healthcare

We want to help you get the right medical assistance when you’re ill, injured or have a long term condition. Going directly to the person with the appropriate skills is important. This can help you to a speedier recovery and makes sure all NHS services are run efficiently.

eConsult Update

(Online Access for Administrative Tasks Only)

This is a service introduced by NHS England over the pandemic that has allowed patients to contact primary care via an online form. It is now a contractual obligation for all practices to provide eConsultations in some format. You may have noticed that we recently suspended the service due to the partners feeling that it was clinically unacceptable in terms of risk and safety – the risk that a patient may have an urgent medical problem, contacted us by eConsult and for that not to be looked at for a number of days due to the excessive demand from other avenues within the GP’s working day. The partners have therefore made the decision that from the 4th July 2022 this service can now only be used for administrative tasks.
