This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer.
Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative.

WELCOME TO THE PRACTICE

The original Health Centre was opened in 1970 to meet the demands of a growth in population and replaced the surgery held at Osbourne House, the home of the late Dr Kingsley. The continued expansion of Burton Latimer led to an extension of that building in 1986.

The surgery now occupies much larger, more modern premises on Higham Road.

Finedon Health Centre was built in 1977, replacing the surgery in Wellingborough Road. The building still belongs to the local Primary Care Trust and has undergone an internal refurbishment.

We offer a wide range of medical services including health promotion and screening as well as diagnosis and treatment of illness. We hope you will find the practice friendly and sympathetic to your needs. We have a well trained team of nursing and administration staff to help us provide a high standard of care.

Training

As an approved training practice we provide training for qualified doctors (GP Registrars) who wish to pursue a career as General Practitioners.

The practice welcomes new patients who live within the practice area (See Practice Map).

Practice News and Notices

In April 2012 the Practice will be changing over to a new computer system for the management of our clinical records.  During this changeover, there may be some disruption to the normal processes, for example; for two weeks during March 2012 when requesting your repeat prescription, you may be issued with two scripts, one of which will be dated for the following month, as we will not be able to issue repeat scripts during the changeover. 

This will be a very busy time for our doctors and staff, but we believe that there will be many benefits to making this change, therefore I hope that you will bear with us during this period. 

During the period 11th to 27th April only patients requiring urgent appointments will be seen.  It will not be possible to pre-book appointments for this period.

 During April and May 2012 the practice will close for one hour each Wednesday between 13:00 and 14:00 for staff training.

Our on-line booking service for appointments and prescriptions will shortly be suspended until we have changed over to the new system.

  We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your support during this process.
