About The Chipping Surgery
The Chipping Surgery is an NHS dispensing general practice on Symn Lane in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, serving the town and surrounding villages. It is part of Berkeley Vale Primary Care Network and is rated Good by the CQC, with Good ratings in all five key questions.
Staff are organised into doctors, a nursing team, dispensers and a practice team, working from a two-floor building that was fully refurbished and extended in 2021 with an expanded dispensary. The practice describes a hard-working, mutually supportive team in which staff very seldom leave and normally retire.
How the team works
Doctors have individual, fully equipped consulting rooms on the ground floor, while the nursing team works from its own consulting rooms on the lower level, alongside a purpose-built treatment room for minor surgical procedures. A dispensary team serves patients who live more than a mile from a chemist. Medicines work sits with a pharmacy team of three, which supports medication reviews, medicines reconciliation for new care home patients, shared care protocols, antimicrobial stewardship and prescribing audits, and contributes to the Quality and Outcomes Framework and enhanced services.
