About us

The Charlbury Medical Centre provides GP services to 5,489 patients in a rural area of the Cotswolds, in the small picturesque market town of Charlbury. The practice serves an area with an overall low level of deprivation, although there are pockets of rural poverty, with related issues of geographical isolation, including ease of access to medical care.

The practice has two partners and 4 salaried GPs. There are two practice nurses and three healthcare assistants. We are a very friendly, strong, cohesive, happy team. The surgery building was built in the late 1990s. There is an onsite dispensary which can provide pharmaceutical services to patients who live more than one mile (1.6km) from their nearest pharmacy premises. Two dispensers currently provide the services to approximately one third of the practice's patients. The practice is fully open from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday. The out of hours service is provided by Oxford Health and is accessed by calling NHS 111.
