A practice that knows your name

Meadowbank was opened in 1999 by two family doctors who wanted more than ten minutes with each patient. It is still small on purpose: about 4,800 patients, twelve clinicians and one reception desk where people are greeted by name.

You choose a named doctor when you register and see them whenever you can. They know your history, your children and what worked last time, so nothing has to be explained twice.

Before you book

Do I need to register first?

No. You can book a single appointment as a visitor. Registering gives you a named doctor and the membership prices.

How quickly can I be seen?

Most patients are seen within two days and many the same day. Children under five are always seen the same day.

Can you refer me to a specialist?

Yes. We refer privately to consultants across Manchester, and we can write to the NHS for you if you prefer.

Do you accept health insurance?

We work with most major insurers. Bring your membership number and we will check your cover before the appointment.

Is there parking?

Yes, six spaces behind the clinic, two of them wide. The 50 bus stops outside.
