Welcome to Nevil Road Surgery

Welcome to Nevil Road Surgery.  We are a small friendly General Practice based in the Bishopston area of Bristol. We welcome new patients living in our area which includes the whole of Bishopston and St Andrews and parts of Horfield, Ashley Down and Redland. Dr Michael Archer is the Senior Partner . Dr An Andries and Dr Gemma Gibbon are both associates at the practice.

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, contraceptive services, minor surgery, childhood and travel vaccinations, and NHS health check-ups where applicable.

Disabled Access

The surgery has access for disabled patients. We have a ramp to the entrance and all surgery/ treatment rooms are on the ground floor 

Important Announcement: Nevil Road Surgery merging with Spence Group Practice

Following our recent statement (16^th December 2011) about the discussions we have been having with another local GP Practice, we can confirm that

Nevil Road Surgery has agreed to merge with the Spence Group Practice, and for the new, combined practice to be located at the Bristol North Baths on Gloucester Rd – which is to be developed accordingly.

The merger is subject to acceptable Contract, Lease and Partnership arrangements and is likely to take place in 2013. This decision has been taken following extensive and formal financial, operational, cultural and strategic business review.

We believe the benefits of the merger include:

•          Relocation to exciting new and purpose built facilities that will enable us to provide services in appropriate surroundings and to comply with current regulations including registration with the Care Quality Commission.

•          Making the future of our practices more secure so we can continue to meet our patients’ healthcare needs.

•          The opportunity to develop new services using both the facilities at the Bristol north Baths and our greater size

•          Having a stronger voice in a time of rapid change in the local NHS and contributing more fully to local initiatives such as the Clinical Commissioning Group

It is important to note that our two practices share a very similar ethos of individual and family centred care which we are determined to preserve for the new practice, making sure that patients of both practices can continue to see the doctors and nurses they know and who know them.

We are very keen that our patients contribute ideas and suggestions for the new practice. This can be done through our website www.NevilRoadSurgery.nhs.uk , utilising the ‘Comments & Suggestions’ section on the Contacts page. Patients can also complete a Comments form for the Suggestion Box in the waiting room; and of course you can speak with our staff. In addition we will continue regular and formal communication with our Patient Participation Group, who are there to represent our patients as a whole.

Clearly there will be a lot of work to make the merger happen, and please be assured of our continued and absolute commitment to providing the excellent level of patient care that you expect from our practice.
