Due to ongoing low numbers of clinicians we will not be able to open Evercreech Surgery for the afternoon of Thursday 30th June and the afternoon of Friday 1st July. We are working to resolve this and thank you for your understanding.
Since the start of the Pandemic, the number of people waiting for NHS treatment in England has grown to 6.1 million – the highest level since comparable records began – and is expected to rise further as those who have missed out on care come forward.
The website www.myplannedcare.nhs.uk supports people waiting for a hospital appointment, operation, or treatment, and gives them advice and support while they wait. This includes access to average waiting times at their hospital.
All requests for NHS hospital treatment are graded by the relevant consultant team based on clinical need. If your symptoms have changed or if you are very concerned, please let us know and we will update your referral.
Caring for another person is very rewarding, but can be overwhelming and lonely at times. If you regularly look after someone else – a family member or friend – Somerset Carers can support you with advice and guidance tailored to you.

We are currently recruiting for a Salaried GP and a permenant Advanced Nurse Practitioner. See our recruitment page for details.
Demand for GP services is increasing every day and is significantly greater than the number of appointments available. For routine enquiries and requests, it might be easier for you to use NHS online services, which can be accessed 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
From our website, use the blue “Contact us online” button, where we aim to reply within 2 working days. Alternatively, use www.patientaccess.com to order repeat prescriptions, find up to date health advice, and view your medical records online. For NHS approved self-help Apps, see the Local Health and Care App Finder on https://somerset.orcha.co.uk/
Although the guidelines around wearing face coverings is easing, the latest NHS guidance from the UK Health Security Agency’s infection prevention and control team is that all patients and staff should continue to wear face coverings in GP Practices.
Please continue to wear face coverings when visiting Park Medical Partnership and/or our Evercreech Surgery.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
If you are interested in joining the PPG or want to find out more information about what the Practice and the PPG are currently involved in please see the dedicated section of our website here: PPG
As you are aware we have on occasion closed our Evercreech branch surgery, sometimes at short notice. We try to give our patients as much notice as possible of temporary surgery closures, but unfortunately this is not always possible.
Recently we have experienced a high level of staff illness, including Doctors, and whilst we always endeavour to find an alternative solution to closing Evercreech Surgery sometimes it is not always possible.
While ensuring we continue to operate as safely and efficiently as possible we sometimes need to have the whole team working from Park. This means there is always a clinician available and all patients who need to make contact with a member of the clinical team can do so by telephone or online via our website www.parkmedicalpractice.nhs.uk.
I would like to assure patients that we have no plans to close Evercreech Surgery permanently as we recognise that this is a valuable resource for the community. Thank you to our patients for your ongoing support during these challenging times.
Dianne Kibblewhite, Practice Manager
The pandemic is not over. GP Practices have been working hard all through the pandemic to continue delivering services. To protect everyone, we must maintain safe infection control and minimise unnecessary physical contact. Click here for latest from NHS Somerset.
Please be patient. Our services are under enormous pressure but we are open and here if needed. You can help us to help you by making sure you get the right care appropriate to your needs, in the right place, at the right time. Click here to see the Somerset Choose Well poster.
We are committed to providing care from the best healthcare professional to our patients as quickly as possible.
To achieve this, our reception team will ask you a few questions about your health concern and may direct you to an alternative service if that gives you access to an appropriate healthcare professional in a quicker time.
See our Local Support Groups page for more details
Please contact us if you become unwell or need to speak to a GP. We have online services available for you to Contact us Online where we aim to reply within two working days. Alternatively, use your Patient Access account to book routine appointments, order repeat prescriptions, get up to date health advice, and see a summary of your medical records online at any time of day, without the need to message or phone us.
Our receptionists are answering the phone during our normal opening hours but we are experiencing an increased demand so it may prove difficult to get through. We recommend you use the online services above whenever possible.
For your safety, we are minimising the amount of face to face contact in the practice. Once you have booked an appointment a GP will initially contact you either by phone or by video link to discuss the best option of care for you. Please only attend the practice in person if you are specifically asked to do so. When entering the building, we ask that you use the hand sanitiser, and wear either an IIR Surgical standard mask (not fabric) or a full face visor.
If you need help with a non-urgent medical or admin request, please contact us online.
Use Patient Access to book an appointment, order repeat prescriptions, get up to date health advice, and view your medical record online.
