Welcome to Walkley House Medical Centre
With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.
FACE MASK EXEMPTION
We are receiving lots of calls asking for face mask exemption cards. As wearing masks is now a legal requirement Doctors are unable to provide letters to say otherwise. You can download a certificate explaining why you find it difficult to wear a face covering which can be shown if required.

Get Well, Keep Well
Of course we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.
TEXT MESSAGING Would patients please bear in mind that the text messaging service isn't always reliable. We try our best to inform patients by text of their up and coming appointments but it is your own responsibility to attend or cancel any appointments that you book.
Online Appointments Alongside our usual GP, Nurse and HCA appointments, we now have the following services to book online and via Reception:
HEALTH TRAINER Can offer services such as Weight management, Healthy Eating, Increasing your Activity levels, Reducing Stress and Reducing Alcohol intake. Souria our Health Trainer is available to book in to on a Thursday Morning at Stannington and All day on a Friday at Walkley. Patients are welcome to book in to either site.
PHYSIO - Our Physios are available All day Monday and Thursday Mornings at Walkley and Alternate Wednesday Afternoons at Stannington. Patients are welcome to book in at either site.
Join In We hope you enjoy having a look around the site and familiarising yourself with some of the online features such as ordering a repeat prescription. Whatever your thoughts, be sure to let us know via our feedback function. Comments and suggestions are always a great way of helping us continue to enhance the way we look after you.
