New Patients

Western Road Medical Centre welcomes new patients who live within our practice area. Please check the tabs on the home screen for a better understanding of the services that we offer. We can also see patients on a temporary residence basis, provided they are staying with one of our permanently-registered patients.

Our medical centre is purpose-built to accommodate the special requirements of those patients who have access needs/are disabled. There is wheelchair access to the consulting rooms, treatment room and disabled toilet facilities. In addition, there are baby-changing facilities. If you have a hidden disability which requires special consideration, please inform a member of staff and efforts will be made to ensure this is provided for.

Private waiting areas are available if required.
