Please call 111 if you need emergency medical attention

If you need medical help between the hours of 6.30pm and 8am there are many services in place to treat people who urgently need healthcare, but it isn’t a serious or life threatening emergency.

If you are unsure of the service you need, or need immediate medical advice you should call NHS 111. They can give you advice and if you need to speak directly to a health care professional then they are available on the other end of the phone, whatever the time of day or night.

Walk in services are also available at Loughborough Urgent Care Centre.

If you do need to go to the emergency department, please think about if you can manage to get there using your own transport, or a taxi. Ambulances in the area will always prioritise the most serious cases first, so if your condition is not serious or life threatening and it’s safe to do so, we would recommend seeing if you can get family or friends to help you get to the emergency department. If you’re not sure, ring NHS 111 and they will advise you.

Welcome to the Castle Mead Medical Centre

Castle Mead was established in 1991 by the partners moving into the present building from the Health Centre. We were the first ever practice to be awarded the British Standards Institutions’ award for quality assurance and we are committed to providing our patients with care of the best quality.

The Stoke Golding Surgery

In July 1990 the practice opened a branch surgery for patients living in Stoke Golding, Dadlington, Higham on the Hill and Stapleton.

The surgery is conveniently located for the residents of these villages and our nurse offers a full range of support services, similar to those listed further on in this leaflet.

At Stoke Golding surgery patients may collect their prescribed medication at the surgery. Some items, such as antibiotics, are available at the surgery at the time of the consultation. Other non-urgent prescriptions, including repeat prescriptions, can be ordered for collection the following working day.

If you require medication urgently when the surgery is closed, please contact the main surgery on: 01455 637659
