"Teaching-focused NHS GP practice in Taunton"
About The Crown Medical Centre
The Crown Medical Centre is an NHS general practice in Taunton providing primary care, GP training and medical-student teaching. Its services include GP appointments, urgent care, nursing support, immunisations, cervical screening, contraception, long-term-condition reviews, medication advice, musculoskeletal care and mental-health support, with online consultations and referrals also available.
It helps people access the right level of care as demand for primary-care appointments exceeds capacity. Patients have a named GP, while trained nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, mental-health practitioners, physiotherapists and care coordinators support different needs; the practice moved into purpose-built premises in 2002, with accessible facilities.
Teaching in everyday practice
GP registrars see patients under close supervision from a GP mentor. The practice also hosts third-, fourth- and fifth-year Bristol University medical students, whose consultations are reviewed by a qualified GP. Its undergraduate teaching received the Somerset Academy Teaching Practice Award for 2024–25.
