Our mission statement:
"At Faversham Medical Practice we aim to provide health care in a professional and compassionate manner and we are committed to delivering a high quality service to our patients."
Website
We are in the process of updating our website to a new format. Hopefully you will find the new website easier to navigate.
COVID Spring Booster
This will start the week commencing the 22nd April 2024.
This will only be for:
- Patients over 75 years and over
- Any patient who is coded as being immunosuppressed (we will send you an invite directly)
- Care/Nursing home patients (we will arrange for these directly with the care home)
Please note that the normal “at risk” groups such as diabetes, asthma, COPD etc will not be offered a booster this time, unless you are over 75 years old.
Please contact reception to book in. Online booking via the NHS National Booking System is expected to be available later on.
Where to get help
There are extensive resources available in the community which patients can access without ever needed to attend their GP practice.
These include services such as Talking Therapies (counselling), Sexual health clinics, midwifery and stop smoking services.
Please see our "Where to get help" page for information about local services which you can access directly. There are also lots of helpful resources and self help guides.
Long Term Conditions
We are changing the way we invite patients for their annual review of their Long Term Conditions (such as diabetes, asthma, COPD, hypertension, etc). We are now trying to line up the annual review with their birth month. This might mean that you are called for annual review earlier/later then before. Please bear with us as we work through the new system as it will take a while to get everyone to get their annual reviews lined up with their birth month.
Job Vacancies
No current vacancies, but keep an eye on our Job Vacancies page.
Educational Training afternoon
Please note that the GP practice will be closed on the following afternoons from 1pm for mandatory staff training.
Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board have arranged out-of-hours GP cover for the day which can be accessed by dialing 111.
The Faversham Urgent Treatment Centre will still be open from 8am-8pm every day and will be able to see any Minor Injuries or Minor Illness whilst the practice is closed. Please note that we do not treat Dental infections-please contact your own Dentist or contact Dentaline via 111.
This is open to all patients, whether you are registered with a Faversham GP or not.
When the practice is closed, please dial 111 if you;
- Need medical help fast, but it's not a 999 emergency
- Don't know who to call for medical help or don't have a GP
- Think you need to go to A&E or another NHS urgent care service
- Need health information or reassurance about what to do next.
