Downton Surgery

Downton Surgery is a general practice and dispensing surgery on Moot Lane, with a registered patient list of around 6,900 people across the local area.

The team is made up of full-time and part-time GPs, supported by nursing and administrative staff. As a dispensing practice, it supplies medication directly to eligible patients alongside the usual run of consultations and health checks.

Day-to-day work covers routine appointments, ongoing management of chronic conditions, and learning disability health reviews. The surgery also trains medical students and GP registrars under supervision, so it plays a part in the wider pipeline of GP training in the area.

Patients can request repeat prescriptions and book certain appointments online through the NHS App, with electronic prescribing further cutting down on paper trails. The Care Quality Commission rates the practice as Good overall, and it continues to accept new registrations from within its catchment area.
