About the Practice
You may be surprised to learn that Flitwick Surgery is the largest practice in the locality with over 16,000 registered patients.
We offer more than 7,000 individual appointments each month, when our patients can see our GPs; Emergency Assessment Team (EAT); general practice nurses; healthcare assistants and our phlebotomist. Our in-house team also offers a range of specialist appointments including antenatal/ postnatal care, as well as musculoskeletal, asthma, diabetic and respiratory clinics.
All our patients are registered with Flitwick Surgery as well as being allocated a named GP. They have the overall responsibility for the care and support provided to you by the practice.
As we are a group practice you may book in to see any doctor you wish, subject to appointment availability. You do not always have to see your named GP and, in some instances, you may wish to see a GP that specialises in a particular disease or condition, for example musculoskeletal gynaecology or diabetes.
Please contact the practice or ask at reception to find out your Named GP’s details. If you have a preference for a specific GP the Practice will make reasonable efforts, wherever possible, to accommodate this request.
Our small team in the Dispensary is kept incredibly busy as the staff handle several hundred requests for repeat prescriptions daily, as well as dispensing over 250 individual items prescribed on the day by our GPs and minor illness nurses. We can dispense to almost 25% of our registered patient population and you can find out whether you are eligible for our dispensing services by contacting reception.
