Welcome to Carterknowle & Dore Medical Practice

We are a team of health care professionals committed to providing a high quality of care which is sensitive to the needs of our patients. Our aim is not only to help you when you are ill, but also to keep you healthy.

Our surgeries are modern, computerised and well equipped with good facilities for the disabled including car parking, wheelchair access and toilet provision.

We offer surgeries every week day with a range of specialist skills, as well as general medicine. This is a group practice, which means you can see any of the Doctors. If Dore patients are unable to get an appointment at Dore, they may be able to get an appointment at the Carterknowle main surgery, depending on the demand.

Please help us to help you.

The more information you can give our triage team, the more able we are to direct you to the relevant member of the practice or outside service. We work as a team, so the practice nurse, nurse practitioner, physicians associate, First Contact Practitioner or pharmacist, may be more suitable than the GP.

Your local community pharmacy can provide a range of help including for minor illnesses. There is also really good information and links to self-help resources on our website. We also have the facility for you to use our digital forms, for non-urgent issues, that will avoid you waiting on the phone.
If you have queries regarding a hospital appointment, please be aware that your consultant’s secretary is best placed to advise you.
