The Windmill Practice

The practice aims to welcome people from all walks of life and address the needs in particular of those who are disadvantaged due to physical, mental and social problems. We have developed particular expertise in issues relating to homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse and asylum seekers and refugees.

 We note the mention of our practice in the Nottingham Post last week relating to appointment data recently published.

We are working hard to meet the needs of our patients and have embraced different ways of working to serve you the best way that we can.

If you have any suggestions on access, you can join our Patient Participation Group by clicking the link further down this page and then clicking Join our patient participation group and filling in the brief form.

August 2023 - There are still a high number of calls and requests for appointments at the moment, we are currently in Amber alert.

Demand remains high and we are doing our best to help as many patients as possible whilst providing safe and effective care.

If you are struggling to get through to us on the phone to make an appointment and your query is non-urgent, you can contact us via the GP triage form of our website (see below)

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
