Welcome to our Practice
We hope the following information will be helpful. The
Hermitage is an old established Swindon G.P. Surgery now
working from a purpose built building in Old Town. Our aim
is to provide the highest standard of health care, and this can
be best achieved by developing close partnerships between
doctors, surgery staff and patients. We always welcome
comments or ideas for improvements.
Opening hours:
08.30 to 18.00 Monday to Friday, (closed Wednesday 13.00
to 16.00 for staff training) with extended surgeries on some
days.
We have disabled access and toilet facilities.
Surgery Hours:
Surgeries and clinics are spread so that the Doctors and
Nurses are available throughout most of the opening hours.
All surgeries and clinics to see both Doctors and Nurses are
by appointment. Reception is open from 08.30 to 18.00. If
you can’t keep your appointments, or need to change it
please telephone Reception as soon as possible so that
someone else can be offered your place.

Repeat Prescriptions:
We need these in writing, ideally with the tear off slip from a
previous prescription, ticking which items you require. You
can also FAX your requirements to us (01793 512520). If
you enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope we will post
your prescription back to you, or most Pharmacies will now
collect from us and deliver to your door.
You can also order repeat prescriptions via our website:
www.hermitage.gpsurgery.net
Please allow up to 48 hours for repeat prescriptions
to be processed.
Home Visits:
If you need a Doctor to visit you at home because you are
too ill to travel to the Surgery, please make your request
before 10.00 a.m. if possible (except in an emergency) with
full details.
