Botley Medical Centre – Meeting tomorrow night, 20th September

19th September 2023

For those of you registered with Botley Medical Centre, many (perhaps all) will have received letters stating you will be moved to a new practice. 

There will be a meeting tomorrow evening, 20th September from 6:30 – 8:00pm at St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church Hall, West Way, Botley.  This meeting will be with the Beaumont Group Practice to hear how the practice works and for patients to ask questions. 

If you are interested in registering with alternative practice to the one you’ve been assigned, the Council has been advised that patients should visit:

The Patient Participation Group for Botley Medical Centre& Kennington Health Centre will be disbanded after 30 September 2023, as the PPG is effectively being split into two, with some going to the Beaumont Group Botley Medical Centre and the others to the Manor Group Kennington Health Centre.
