Welcome to Deal Tree Health Centre

The practice was founded in 1960 and has since expanded so that it now consists of four partners and twenty staff.We moved into our new purpose built building in 2012 and from this we aim to provide family medicine of the highest standards for the benefit of our patients.

As well as a source of information about our practice, the staff & the services we provide, we hope you use the website as a useful resource with links to other reliable websites for health related information. If there is topical health information we will also add this to the website.

Changes To Prescriptions

We are upgrading to the next phase of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) which will mean that almost all our prescriptions will be processed electronically from 20th January 2020.

Electronic prescriptions help save the NHS money.

How will this affect you?

If you have already nominated a pharmacy, you will receive your prescriptions in the same way as you do now.  

If you have not nominated a pharmacy, you will be issued with a token which can be taken to your pharmacy of choice.  For more information, please see the NHS website or speak to a member of our Dispensing team.
