Riverside Medical Practice - Information about the doctors surgery opening hours, appointments, online prescriptions, health information and much more

Noticeboard

URGENT NOTICE -

As a practice we are aware of the communication from NHSE and media this morning regarding the opening up of GP receptions and appointments as of Monday 17th May. As a practice we are reviewing how we can maximise patient access, whilst maintaining safety for patients and staff safely as guidance changes.

At Riverside Medical Practice we have continued to work and support patients throughout the whole of the pandemic and have responded to more calls from patients throughout the whole of the pandemic and responding to unprecedented levels of demand. In the period March and April 2021 alone we have dealt with more calls than in any other period on record, and as a practice will continue to meet the needs of our patients as best we can, whilst continuing to support the COVID Vaccination program.

In the short term we will continue to limit access to the premises, and offer a triage first service in order to ensure patients are treated in the most appropriate way and will continue to offer remote consultations and appropriate face to face appointments until a safety review is completed.

We can confirm that face to face appointments HAVE continued throughout the whole of the pandemic, however we reinforce that this is following a triage first service in order to maintain the best interests of both patients and staff.

Welcome to Riverside Medical Practice

We are a town centre based practice offering family health services to the population of Shrewsbury. Please note that we are now moved to our new premises on Barker Street, Shrewsbury, SY1 1QJ

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

Serving You

Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.

Access & Parking

Our surgery was purpose-built in 2020 and is fully DDA compliant with breastfeeding and changing facilities for parents.

Regrettably, we do not have patient parking however we are close to public transport links. The nearest public car park to the surgery are at on St Austin Street & Barker Street (Short Stay) or Frankwell or Raven Meadows (Long Stay). The main town bus station is only a few minutes' walk from the surgery.
