Wolverley Surgery is located about 2 miles from Kidderminster town centre on the B4189 to the NW of the town. It employs two resident GPs and has a patient to doctor ratio of about 1500:1 compared with the Wyre Forest GP practice average of around 1600:1.There is free parking for 12 cars, which is normally sufficient for the patients at any one time ( further parking spaces are planned). The Surgery was purpose-built on a green-field site and was opened in 1990.

 

Wolverley Surgery is one of thirteen Practices covering the Wyre Forest. Before April 2001 the Wyre Forest area was covered by the Wyre Forest Primary Care Group who followed policy laid down by the Worcestershire Health Authority. Since 1st April 2001 the Primary Care Group has been changed to The Wyre Forest Primary Care Trust -WFPCT  ( the first Trust to be set up in the county) which means that the decisions which affect the health of the Wyre Forest population are taken by a Board which is working in the best interests of patients and who have first hand knowledge of the Wyre Forest and the problems associated with particular areas and communities.

Wolverley Surgery has two doctors and twenty one support staff which means that a very wide range of services can be provided.
A booklet is available from Reception giving information about Wolverley Surgery. Some of the infpormation is covered on different pages of this website. The remainder can be accessed by clicking Wolverley Surgery Topics.

The Surgery has a Dispensary which, for a defined area around the Surgery, actually dispenses prescribed drugs. The time between lodging a prescription and the drugs being available for collection is normally three working days.

A list of some of the Web Sites relating to the Wolverley area covering education, religion and leisure may be found at useful sites. There is,also, a new Government initiative to cause GP Surgeries to open for more hours in the week. You can find out more about this topic, and what Wyre Forest GPs think will happen to patient care if it goes ahead,. in the "useful sites " page where, if you click on "saveoursurgeries" you will find information and how you could help, should you feel it appropriate to do so.

Wolverley Practice has a Patients Participation Group (PPG) which is made up of number of patients selected to be representative of the wide range of patients served by the Practice. They meet regularly to discuss Practice topics and aim to produce a newsletter from time to time with useful information for patients. Between newsletters items of interest are usually posted on the Notice Board. To view click Notice Boardi

The NHS requires all GP practices to carry out a Patient Survey annually. the purpose is to assess patient satisfaction with the medical services provided, so that these services can be improved where necessary and practicable. The Survey is carried out using the GPAQ (General Practice Assessment Questionnaire) document. The Wolverley Surgery Survey was, this year, covering our two doctors. Nurses and support staff is the Survey base next year.
