An Introduction To The Hawthornden Surgery
This practice was founded by Dr Francis Gibbs in 1895 but he was to die at an early age in 1911. He was succeeded by Dr Selborne Bailey who was to remain with the practice from 1911 until 1968! In 1923 he amalgamated with the other practice in Bourne End; Dr Vaudrey Mercer joined the practice in 1934 and in 1943 Dr Bailey's son Alison entered the practice; Dr Mercer moved to Cookham in 1946. Dr Flanagan came as an assistant in 1954 and Dr Lloyd Parry joined as a partner in 1965 followed by Dr Fergusson in 1967. Dr Alison "Joe" Bailey retired from the practice in 1986, by which time he and his father had completed a total of 100 years of general practice. Sadly Dr Bailey died in November 1997. Dr Sarah Buxton joined as a partner in August 1992 and Dr Michael Wolfin in March 1996. He replaced Dr Lloyd Parry who retired in March 1996 after more than 30 years as a partner in this practice. Dr Tanveer Hussain joined the practice in January 1997 to be followed by Dr Peter Newman who joined the practice in May 2000 following the retirement in April 2000 of Dr Fergusson who had by then completed more than 32 years as a partner here. Our newest partner is Dr Sarah Abbas who joined us in February 2012 as a job-sharing partner with Dr Hussain.
We are dedicated to providing an effective primary care service to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of medical care and attention within the National Health Service.
Our primary care team consists of the general practitioners supported by our three practice nurses, two phlebotomists, plus a team of district nurses, school nurses, health visitors and a community midwife who are attached to the practice.
We are currently part of the Buckinghamshire Primary Care Trust which came into being on 1st October 2006, amalgamating three former PCTs from the Wycombe area, Vale of Aylesbury and Chiltern & South Bucks.
We are also part of Bucks Primary Care Collaborative, BPCC, which is an association of 34 local GP practices, working together to improve healthcare services for our 305,000 patients. Do please visit the BPCC website at www.buckspcc.co.uk

Surgery Times
The main surgery is open from 8.15am until 6.30pm Monday to Friday only. We are not open on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.
The surgery is closed between 1.00 and 2.00pm each day so that members of staff have protected time for administrative work. Urgent calls will be dealt with by our answering service during this period. The surgery is also closed for one afternoon a month for protected learning time for the doctors, clinical and non-clinical staff. Posters advertising these dates are displayed in the surgery and the out-of-hours service Bucks Urgent Care, based in High Wycombe, will deal with any urgent calls during this period.
The branch surgery in Flackwell Heath is not staffed and is only open for the duration of each surgery.
We also offer early morning and evening appointments for those patients who find it difficult to get to see the doctor during the normal working day. Surgeries usually run from 7.00 to 8.00am, usually on a Wednesday morning (but not every week), and on alternate Monday evenings from 6.30 - 8.00pm. Please contact the reception staff for precise details, as times and days vary from time to time.
Disabled Access:
Both the main
and branch surgeries can accommodate wheelchairs; patients who are unable to manage
the stairs may be seen downstairs at the Hawthornden surgery.
Out Of Hours And Emergencies
Urgent calls will be dealt with at any time, 24 hours a day. When the surgery is closed your call will be diverted to Bucks Urgent Care, the out-of-hours service commissioned by the Primary Care Trust. This service is based in High Wycombe, is manned by trained professionals and has doctors and nurses on hand to deal with all emergencies. If you call during busy periods, over Bank Holiday weekends for example, you may experience difficulty or delay in obtaining a reply. Please be patient, as all calls will be answered. In an extreme emergency, if you are experiencing difficulties getting through to BUC, please telephone 999.
This practice uses a different out-of-hours service during our lunchtime closure from 1.00 to 2.00pm. This service is called East Berkshire Primary Care (OOH) but it operates in exactly the same way as BUC.
Extended Hours
We have some consultation times outside of our normal working hours, some early morning, others in the evening after 6.30pm. These appointments are pre-bookable appointments and are designed for patients who are unable to get to see their doctor during our normal working hours.
The extended hours surgeries normally run on alternate Monday evenings from 6.30pm to 8.00pm and on Wednesday mornings from 7.00am to 8.00am three weeks out of four – two doctors (sometimes one doctor plus a nurse) are usually working at each session. During annual leave or study leave, these additional surgery times may be subject to change. Please ask the reception staff for further details.
NHS Direct
NHS Direct is a 24-hour nurse-led helpline available on 0845 4647.
PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
We ask you for personal information so that you can receive the most appropriate care and treatment. This information is recorded on computer and we are registered under the Data Protection Act. The practice will ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times by all members of the practice team. However, for the effective functioning of a multi-disciplinary team it is sometimes necessary that medical information about you is shared between members of the practice team.
Freedom Of Information - Publication Scheme
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available.
This scheme is available from reception.
The practice would like to thank the various advertisers who have helped to produce this Website. However, it must be pointed out that the accuracy of any statements cannot be warranted, nor any products or services advertised, be guaranteed or endorsed.
