28 Day Prescribing

It has been for some time recommended by the NHS that all prescriptions should automatically be for a 28 day period, other than a limited number of items, which come in 3 month packs, such as the contraceptive pill.  For some time now we have resisted the drive towards providing 28 day repeat prescriptions as we realise this may increase inconvenience for some patients.  Research has shown that a very large amount of medication is wasted when doctors prescribe for two months (56 days).  For more information please read our patient information leaflet.  We shall be gradually switching patients currently prescribed repeat medication for 56 days to 28 days.

As from the 1st of December 2011 we shall have dedicated repeat prescription order lines operating between the hours of 2pm and 5pm weekdays.

WELCOME TO GILLINGHAM MEDICAL PRACTICE

Gillingham Medical Practice cares for over 11,000 patients from two similar sized purpose built buildings situated at either end of the town, covering a 6 miles radius.

We are a Multidisciplinary Team working closely together to provide a full range of comprehensive health promotion and disease management service.

We currently have 5 GP Partners and 4 Salaried GPs:

The Barn Surgery
Dr Matthew Short (Partner)
Dr Hilary Sage (Partner)
Dr Claire Chambers (Partner)
Dr Mohamed Kamara (Salaried GP)
Dr Sally Dangerfield (Salaried GP)


The Peacemarsh Surgery
Dr Geoff Lewis (Partner)
Dr Tim Wood (Partner)
Dr Harriet Upton (Salaried GP)
Dr Mark Nankervis (Salaried GP)

Although the Doctors mostly work at a single surgery, the Nursing, Secretarial and Reception Teams cover both surgeries.

The ethos of the practice is for openness and communication, there are in-house meetings organised and lunches together have been a tradition for many years underpinning the team approach.
 

Disabled Access

Both practice premises have suitable access for disabled patients.
