Thanks for the reply about Whitemoor Medical Centre.

We are changing surgeries but not just because of the change of telephone system but mainly because they have moved their surgery from the town centre (5 minutes walk from where we live) to 3 miles out of Belper; There are also other reasons which I cannot go into here.

The old number was 01773 823521. Thanks for the number you did find. I will give it a try.

I don't suppose the surgery used to be in Green Lane, by any chance? Grin

Off-topic warning...
I once used a doctor at a surgery called the Church Street Practice. They moved to a street nearby but kept the old name. It did sometimes cause problems if you had to give details of your doctor to someone, as they tend to say, "I guess that's in Church Street"...

The DoH is consulting about 084 numbers.
http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Consultations/Liveconsultations/DH_091879
At first reading, the consultation document is full of absurd errors. Still thinks there are local call rates, thinks it's a benefit to get held in a 0844 queue instead of getting an honest engaged tone, thinks 0207 is code for central London, doesn't realise that many (most?) people can, at least some of the time, phone 01 02 and 03 numbers at zero marginal cost.

Look around the surgery for direct telephone numbers for staff. These surgeries seem to have a block of consecutive numbers and reception/main menu is often the first in the sequence. Wink

The website for Central Surgery lists the practice manager as Shiela Keller:

http://www.sawbosurg.gpsurgery.net/Webdesk/netblast/pages/index.html?id=382000

A Google of Sheila Keller 01279 returns this table which gives her number as 01279 722215.

As I said previously, the numbers at these surgeries are often in blocks. So assuming that this is her current direct number at the surgery, then perhaps you need to look in the 01279 72221x range and nearby.

I am trying to find the local number for my g.p surgery I did have it till they changed to this silly 0844 which cost's an bomb.

I have tried in vain on google and can't find anything here are the details

Woodstock Bower Group Surgery
Kimberworth Road
Rotherham
S61 1AH

Tel no: 0844 8151956 if phoneing from the uk
over seas: 0870 114593.

Would be nice to have a local eg 01709 number that way it don't cost.

I think you will find it is Woodstock and not Woddstock, I have found their fax number 01709 740690 Try dialling around that number. If no luck then Read Dave's reply #105 Think that will be the only way of finding their number

kitties_rule Newbie Offline Posts: 2	Re: Doctors Surgeries Reply #298 - May 15^th, 2009 at 2:22pm I did that already, I've looked and asked reception staff about it before and they refuse point blank to give anything but the number they get a cut off of ALREADY PAYING TAXES FOR THEM... This should be illegal for them to make money on the side off patients this way...
