About The Docs Surgery
The Docs Surgery is an NHS GP practice in central Manchester, established in 1992 and based at Bloom Street since 1998. It provides healthcare to more than 14,000 residents, including general medical appointments, prescriptions, referrals, vaccinations, test results and nurse-led clinics. Its services include sexual-health screening, family planning, HIV testing and long-term HIV care, alongside chronic-condition advice and minor-illness treatment.
The practice combines everyday primary care with specialist input and medical education. Its original aims included individualised care and continuity, and addressing gaps in city-centre NHS provision and discrimination linked to sexuality or HIV status. Evening and weekend appointments are available through other Manchester practices.
Care across two locations
Alongside Bloom Street, the practice offers appointments at New Jackson Medical Centre on Chester Road. The branch is shared with Cornbrook Medical Practice and Vallance Medical. Patients can request either site; The Docs' administrative queries continue to be handled through its usual channels.
A practice that teaches
The Docs trains both future GPs and medical students. Students sometimes observe appointments with GPs and other staff to gain clinical experience, with patients informed beforehand and able to decline their presence.
