Refurbishment 

The Reading Walk-In Health Centre is undertaking refurbishment of the Health and Wellbeing Centre. We anticipate completion date 1st April 2019 and are currently waiting for IT issues to be resolved.

During this period, the number of GP appointments may be reduced due to the lack of rooms available to our patients. The Clinical Commissioning Group are aware of this and we are doing our very best to accommodate.

We would appreciate your cooperation during this period, however, if you have particular difficulties then please contact us so that we can see how we can help.

We will also be having the main waiting room painted for 1 week from 8th April 2019 after hours. This means there will be no disruption during opening hours but the waiting room may smell like paint. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this and if you are affected by the paint fumes, please inform reception.

We are also awaiting a delivery for new chairs for both waiting rooms which will be set up out of hours.

Extended Hours, Open for Longer

As from 01 October 2018, patients will be able to access appointments during evenings and weekends, Mon -Thu 0800-2000, Fri 0800-1830, Sat 0800-1600. To book an appointment contact your Practice.
