Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms

Due to the ongoing pandemic, and to help keep you and our colleagues safe we’re following national guidance and minimising face to face contacts. We will continue to support you through video consultation, telephone consultations and virtual clinics and we’ll see you face to face where this is safe, and the most appropriate way to support you in line with the national guidance.

Regarding certificates or evidence about your COVID vaccination status (dated 12 May 2021)

We are unable to issue this certificate at the practice and we kindly ask that you do not call or email us with queries relating to this.

Proof of your vaccination status will be available in the NHS app from 17th May 2021 – The NHSapp can be downloaded from:

If you have not used it before, there is a self-registration process within the app to create an “NHS login” as per https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/nhs-log-in/

If you already have access/ login details for patient online services, for example “Patient Access”, you may use this.

Alternatively, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you.

This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine.

The letter may to take another 5 days to reach you, or more if postal services are affected.  Please take account of this when making your plans.

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.
