About us

Charlbury Medical Centre was purpose-built in 1996 on the Spendlove Centre site facing the Enstone Road.  We are a three-partner practice covering several villages in West Oxfordshire.  The geographical boundary of the practice area is shown on a map displayed in the entrance.  We try to be as flexible as possible in order to give our patients the best possible service in all aspects of care, in a modern, light and friendly environment and are fully supported by our nursing and clerical staff.  The surgery has full disabled access.

We are not a teaching practice but from time to time we do accept medical and nursing students.  You will be informed of this at Reception and have the right to ask for the student to leave the consultation.

Patient Registration

Patients may register with the practice by completing the appropriate forms, providing they live within the practice area. When you register you will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire. This is due to the considerable time it takes for us to receive your medical records. This questionnaire can be downloaded below and brought to the surgery when you register.

Alternatively to register with the practice you may contact Reception who will provide you with the necessary forms and Practice Leaflet.

You will be registered with the practice as a whole and will be assigned to the list of one of the partners.  When making an appointment you may request a consultation with the Doctor of your choice.

This practice supports the Government’s NHS zero tolerance zone campaign.  GPs and their staff have the right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused.  We ask that you treat your GP and practice staff with courtesy and consideration.
