Keeping your home cool in summer
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot for too long, there are health risks. If a heatwave hits this summer, make sure the hot weather does not harm you or anyone you know.

Have your say and get involved in Reading Walk-in Centre. Ask at reception or call up for more information.
Welcome to Reading Walk-in Health Centre (dated 31 March 2021)
As of the 1st April 2021 the current appointment based Walk-In service will be temporarily closed. This decision has been taken by the Berkshire West CCG and is in response to a significant drop in daily demand. A consultation process will commence in May 2021 in order to establish the future level of need for a Walk-In service and how this demand could be met in other ways. Please be assured that no final decision will be made prior to completion of the consultation process.
Patients registered with the GP surgery should continue to access the service as normal.
The Broad St. Mall will be open Monday-Saturday 08:00-18:00 and Sunday 11:00-17:00 so if you are arriving outside of these times you will need to enter the mall via the Oxford Road entrance (doors located next to Taco Bell and and Trespass.)

General Practice
Our centre gives you additional choice and greater access to healthcare in Reading offering a full general practice for registered patients. The general practice offers pre-bookable appointments to its registered patients.
We offer online services to registered patients which allows you to request services such as repeat prescriptions or appointments at a time that is convenient for you.
Electronic Prescription Service
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is a NHS service that allows us to send your prescription(s) directly to your chosen pharmacy. This paper-free prescription service means that you do not have to come into the surgery to collect your prescription.
We encourage all patients to register for this free service, which can be arranged directly with the pharmacy when collecting your medication. Alternatively, you can ask at reception.
