Welcome to Meadowgreen Health Centre
We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.
Serving You
Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

We would like to say a huge thank you to some very special people who have helped the Practice to get through this very difficult time.
Big shout out to ……

Also we would like to say a big thank you to Georgina Gunner from the ‘Helping Dress Medics’ Charity who has donated scrubs for the Clinicians to wear so they can follow infection control guidelines.

Coronavirus
The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of:
For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild infection.
If you have symptoms of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 7 days from when your symptoms started. You do not need to call NHS111 to go into self-isolation. If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or are no better after 7 days contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111. For a medical emergency dial 999.
Please keep your visits to the surgery to a minimum, if you need to collect a prescription please contact us to arrange delivery to a pharmacy of your choice. If you need to request your medication you can do so over the telephone during this period on 0114 2378877 or 2378800. Many thanks for your continued understanding and support during this time.
If you have an upcoming appointment booked with us, please do not attend if you have a cough or fever. If you feel the matter could be managed by phone, please contact reception with a suitable contact number and we will contact you rather than asking you to attend.
We would like to thank you for your cooperation at this time.
Please do not bring visitors to any appointments unless absolutely necessary
There is evidence that wearing a face covering may help stop a person infected with COVID-19 from spreading the virus further. Therefore, in order to help us protect our patients and staff we are asking, if you can, you wear some form of face covering when visiting the practice, even if you do not have symptoms of COVID-19. This can be as simple as a scarf or bandana that ties behind the head. Face coverings should not be used by children under the age of 2 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly - for example, those with respiratory conditions. You can find information on making and wearing your own face coverings via the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-wear-and-make-a-cloth-face-covering.
