The five practices that form the Chippenham Corsham and Box Primary Care Network are delighted to announce a new Patient Service with the establishment of an Urgent Care Centre which will be based at New Road Surgery Chippenham.

The UCC will initially operate 08:00 to 18:30 on each Monday and Friday which has recently started on the 5^th June 2023.  It will provide a significant proportion of the urgent, on-the-day appointments currently provided by the 5 practices within the PCN.

The UCC will utilise multi-disciplined teams resourced with Clinical Staff from both the Practices and their colleagues within the PCN.

The pathway is via patient contact with your own Practice where they can consider this service alongside other available options for their care.

The Partners of all Practices trust this alongside other approaches underway demonstrates to their patients a continuous commitment to develop services that enhance patient access and experience.

We would like to ask our patients to be aware that there are other health support services available. Please see the links below.

"Modern general practice with traditional values"

The practice was established in 1830 at the Corner House in the Market Place in Chippenham and nearly 200 years later eight partners and four salaried GPs work from the purpose-built premises forming Rowden Surgery.

We look after over 18,700 patients within our catchment area and we pride ourselves on our doctor/patient relationships and inclusivity. We have fought very hard to maintain our Personal List system. This means that every patient and family, has a named doctor from the moment of their registration who is responsible for co-ordinating their care.  We believe that continuity of a doctor is key to good practice and delivering a high quality personal consultation remains the cornerstone of our care.

Rowden Surgery lies adjacent to Chippenham Community Hospital and provides an attractive and effective  environment for patients and staff. All facilities for our patients are at ground level with easy access including a disability friendly car park.
