Welcome to The Mote Medical Practice online

The Mote Medical practice is a six doctor, 10,900 patient practice in the south of Maidstone providing General Medical Services from its main premises at St Saviours Road. Services are also provided from our Branch Surgery in Boughton Lane.

We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

In order to provide a full range of services registered patients may need to attend either premises, particularly for urgent care (on-the-day bookings).

We now have a Facebook page where you will find the most up to date information on our clinics and the current situation for Coronavirus - Covid 19

URGENT PLEASE READ

We are cancelling all routine appointments with GP's with immediate effect, if you need to have an urgent on the day appointment you can still phone the surgery to book this (see details below). If you had a routine appointment booked DO NOT arrive at the practice to be seen.

Thank you

From Monday 23rd March our branch surgery in Loose will be closed.

From Wednesday 18th March our Walk-in and Wait clinics will be changing:

Our front doors at both surgeries will be closed.

Any patient wishing to see a doctor will need to telephone the practice, you will be asked for a contact number and to give a brief description of your problem. Your GP will phone you and if it is deemed necessary you will be asked to attend the surgery.

Prescription Requests

We’ve been inundated with questions in regard to repeat prescriptions. If you need a repeat prescription please leave your request in the letter box or use our online service.

When using the online service please nominate your local pharmacy so that your prescriptions can be sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice. This means that you will not have to come to the surgery to collect it.

We are encouraging everyone to use the online service, however we understand this isn’t feasible for everyone and if you are unable to do this for any reason you will still be able to collect your prescription from the surgery.

Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

If you are or having to self-isolate due to Covid 19 and need a Med 3 certificate please call NHS 111 who will give you a Unique Reference Number (URN) and this will be accepted by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
