Welcome To The Three Villages Medical Practice

This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative. It is intended for both existing patients and those considering registering with us. It tells you about our services, how to access them and some general information about how the practice operates.

Three Villages Medical Practice team includes five GPs, three nurses, one health care assistant, as well as our practice manager, IT manager, office manager, three summarisers/data input clerks, two secretaries and 12 part-time receptionists.

We provide a wide range of family health services, including:

• advice on health problems
• vaccinations
• examinations and treatment
• minor operations and procedures
• prescriptions for medicines
• referrals to other health services and social services

We also provide care during pregnancy, child health checks and immunisations, health promotion/health screening services, such as smear tests and well person checks.

If a doctor cannot deal with your problem themselves, they'll usually refer you to a hospital for tests, treatment or to see a consultant with specialised knowledge.

18 weeks should be the longest time for most patients to start receiving treatment from the time their GP refers them, and patients can now choose to go to any hospital they wish in England where care is funded by the NHS.

The Aims Of The Practice

Doctors

Dr Adrian G Wild, Dr Robin P Higgins, Dr Elizabeth Pope, Dr Ruth H Tapparo & Dr Debbie J Foulds.
