New Appointment System
Following recent feedback from our patients we are implementing a new appointment system as of 29th July 2019.
BOOKING A ROUTINE APPOINTMENT
If you require a routine GP or Nurse appointment, please telephone the practice after 8.00 am daily. Pre-bookable ROUTINE appointments will now be released no more than two days or one week ahead.
ON THE DAY EMERGENCY
All patients requiring an EMERGENCY appointment for the same day will be booked into our telephone triage list. This list will be overseen by 3 Emergency Care Practitioners.
After receiving a call back to assess your EMERGENCY from one of our highly trained clinicians you will be booked into the next appropriate available appointment at any of our three sites. This may well be on the same day should your condition be deemed an emergency by our clinical team.
ONLINE APPOINTMENT BOOKING
A significant amount of appointments are now available to book online. Some of these appointments are for the next day or within the next two weeks, and can only be accessed online. Please ensure that you select an appointment at your preferred site before booking.
Our Flu Clinics are now available to book
Danbury Medical Centre, Mountbatten House Surgery and Moulsham Lodge Surgery
Please speak to reception to book or call 01245 221777 / 01245 353182

Prescription Price Change
As from the 1st April, 2019, the price per item on a prescription will be £9.00
Patient Notice - Extended Access
Part of the GP Forward View is a requirement for practices in all Clinical Commissioning Group areas to provide Extended Access to all of their residents. This is a service commissioned by Mid Essex CCG. Appointments under the Extended Access scheme would be available Monday to Friday 6.30pm-8.00pm as well as Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
The Beacon Health Group submitted a business case to the Mid Essex CCG to provide this service but this was unfortunately unsuccessful. The successful bidder, as chosen by the CCG, is a practice based in Colne Valley who will be providing the Extended Access to all practices within Mid Essex CCG.
We welcomed BBC Essex Radio to the Beacon Health Group in celebration of 70 years of the NHS
The Beacon Health Group were very excited to be invited to participate with the BBC Essex breakfast show based at Danbury Medical Centre all morning on the 5th July, discussing the diverse workforce within the NHS today and changes it has seen over the last 70 years. We are very proud to be part of something great!
