Our team of data administrators manage new registrations, changes of address, summarising of medical records, run medical reports and maintain our clinical software.

Reception is normally your first point of contact with the practice. We have a large team of full and part-time reception staff, all of whom are trained to provide you with a friendly and efficient service. They will assist you to make an appointment, deal with requests for repeat prescriptions and give you information about all our other services. Please speak to them if you have a query and they will do their best to help you.

We have five secretaries who support the entire team, managing medical referrals, reports and the payment of accounts.

District Nurses, or Community Nurses, are not based at Rowden Surgery, but at Chippenham Community Hospital. The doctors may refer patients needing nursing at home to ‘Access to Care’, who will then assess the patient and organise care by the Community Team.
