Translation service

If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced.

Chaperones

Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.

    Did you know you can manage repeat prescriptions from Minehead Medical Centre in the NHS App?

    You can easily choose where your prescriptions are sent. So, if you know you'll be away from home or you are moving home, you can change your nominated pharmacy from within the app.

    You can also order your prescription at any time that suits you. There’s no need to wait to join a telephone queue or wait until the GP surgery opens.

    It’s easy to use, and, if you hit a snag, you can go to ‘Help’ in the top right-hand corner of the app or visit nhs.uk/helpmeapp.
