We have a large clinical team here at Kidderminster Medical Centre, with appointments available from 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. Our GP appointments are a telephone triage in the first instance to assess your needs. You will be invited into surgery for a face-to-face appointment if the GP needs to examine you.

Travel Vaccinations
If you are travelling abroad we advise that you contact reception on 01562 546740 or contact us online by clicking here, at least 2 months before you are due to travel. Reception will then arrange a telephone call back from one of our travel nurses. The travel nurse is then able to advise you over the telephone as to which vaccines you may require and then offer you an appointment in one of our nominated travel clinics. We have a high demand for our travel clinic service and strive to offer the best clinical advice in a timely manner, in turn benefiting patient health for their time abroad. If you give us less than 2 months notice of your travel arrangements we may not be able to accommodate you in one of our available clinics and you will then be advised to contact a travel clinic at your own convenience.
Please note some vaccines will be free of charge whilst others will incur a fee, the nurse will advise you about this when she speaks to you.
You will be asked to pay for the vaccines prior to the appointment, so that we can order them in for you.
You can also fill out the form below which will be submitted to the site.

Immunisations
Childhood Doctors recommend full protection for your child who will normally be called for appointments for routine vaccinations at our regular immunisation clinic by the local health authority computer system. However, immunisations may be arranged at other times if necessary. If you think your child may have missed any injections, do let us know.
Adult Have you been immunised against tetanus and polio within the last 10 years? Flu vaccinations are available during October/November for some people and others may become available. Please check with the practice nurses.
Once seen by your doctor about a suitable problem they may suggest a minor operation at site rather than send you to the hospital. Minor operations are carried out by one of our doctors across our 5 sites within Wyre Forest Health Partnership. They were paused during the pandemic but we are restarting these once again, and plan to hold clinics twice a month at Bewdley Medical Centre and Kidderminster Medical Centre. Patients who require a minor surgery will be added to a waiting list and contacted by our central booking team.
The list of the minor operations we run are the following –
The practice offers a full programme of health checks and general health and wellbeing advice for children up to the age of 5. Children are offered an appointment for a health and development check at 8 weeks alongside their immunisation’s appointment, carried out by one of the GP’s or Advanced Nurse Practitioners at the surgery with the support of practice nursing team. Health visitors also offer a wealth of advice and support for the health and development of the Newborn up to age of 5 years and hold regular baby clinics and other groups such as feeding support groups throughout the week.
