Car Parking Information

We have recently changed the layout of the car park. We now have a Staff only area and a Patient only area. This has increased the number of spaces for patients to 6, including 1 disabled bay. If the car park is full there is alternative parking nearby at Sainsburys, Maryport Street, Monday Market Street or Sidmouth Street.

Thank you very much in advance for your co-operation in this matter.

Welcome to St James Surgery Website

We aim to help you find all the information you need. Please take your time to browse through our website and you will find lots of useful information about the surgery and the services we can offer you.

IMPROVED ACCESS

You can now access additional Primary Care Services in the evenings and at weekends.

Improved Access is a Wiltshire-wide initiative where local practices are working together to offer increased availability of services and appointments in the evenings and at weekends. These appointments are available 18:30 -20:00 Monday to Friday and some on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. This collaboration by practices will ensure all patients in Wiltshire have this option, but this might mean you will be offered an appointment at another practice. You will need to give consent to use this service.

Appointment types will vary - some being face-to-face, some telephone consultations and a mixture of bookable and same-day appointments available across the week. The service will be offering appointments with GPs as well as with other healthcare professionals, such as Practice Nurses or Health Care Assistants. The service is keen to balance the importance of continuity of care with convenient access for patients, while ensuring that the service is safe.

To book such an appointment, contact the surgery during normal opening times. A receptionist will explain the process and ensure the booking is appropriate. For more information please contact the surgery.
