The Barcroft Practice

The Barcroft Practice is located in the historic town of Amesbury close to the A303, just North of Salisbury.

We practice from purpose built central premises, which are easily accessible by wheelchair. The practice extends over an approximate five-mile radius (see map) and provides a full range of general medical services to all age groups. The Medical Centre is conveniently situated in the centre of Amesbury, with its own car park adjacent to the central car park and close to the bus station. The practice is part of the Wiltshire PCT.

The Medical Centre is open all day where a team of receptionists coordinate the appointments for the Doctors, Practice Nurses and Phlebotomists.

The Surgery is open from 8.00 am to 6.30 pm every weekday.

The reception team are available from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 6.30 pm every week day.

Urgent Appointment Requests

A recent review of the services we provide has highlighted the need to improve the system we currently have in place to deal with requests for urgent on the day appointments and queries.

If you feel you need a same day appointment with the doctor you telephone the surgery first on the usual number. – 01980 623983, Fax 01980 625530
You will be asked to provide a contact number and the Duty Doctor will phone you back to discuss you problem with you
When returning your call the doctor may simply offer advice, may issue you with an appropriate prescription or will arrange a mutually convenient time for you to be seen.

It is our hope with this new system patients will be able to discuss their problems with a Doctor quicker, and will not have to wait indefinitely in a waiting room full of other sick people.

Repeat Prescription Requests

We ask that all prescription requests are received in writing, either by putting your request in the box at reception, posting it through our letter box if we are closed, posting it to us, faxing it or asking your usual chemist to deliver it.

We require 48 working hours notice to process prescription requests, which will be unaffected by this change. Please remember to allow enough time for the chemist to dispense your medicines too.
