Welcome to our new website. Here, you can find up to date information about our surgery, including our opening hours, the services available and how to get in touch.  Please take time to browse and, even if you are only making a quick visit, check out our latest news pages.

If you would like to join Rosmellyn Surgery, please check you live within our practice area by clicking on the "Catchment Area" tab above. The practice area runs from Land’s End in the West, to a line in the East roughly connecting Zennor on the North coast with Rosudgeon on the South. Once you are ready to join, please either pop in to the surgery to pick up the registration forms, or alternatively you can complete these online by clicking the "New Patients" tab above. We looking forward to meeting you soon.

We are currently sending out invites for our flu vaccination clinics. If you are eligible for a vaccine you will receive a letter outlining the date and time of your appointment.

Due to COVID-19, we are needing to put extra measures in place for the safety and well-being of our patients and staff:

Please turn up between the times stated on your letter, no later, no earlier or we may not be able to vaccinate you.

Please leave all belongings in the car, face coverings must be worn and please make sure you have used the toilet prior to arrival.

You will be encouraged to socially distance as you wait for your vaccine so please be expected to wait in a queue.

Please make sure you wear a short sleeved shirt or t-shirt to enable the clinician fast and easy access to the vaccine site.

We will be operating a one way system so you will be asked to leave via a separate exit.

Please keep your invite letter as reference as to what to expect on the day of your appointment.

We appreciate that these are strange times and the changes we have made to our flu clinics may not suit everybody however the changes haven’t been easy to implement and have taken lots of time and effort to arrange. Our most important aim is help protect staff and patients alike.

IF YOU FEEL AT ALL UNWELL ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH ANY SYMPTOM PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND – PLEASE CALL THE SURGERY WHEN YOU ARE FEELING BETTER AND WE CAN RE-ARRANGE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR YOU.

Thank you

Are you an enthusiastic and motiviated individual? If so you might be just the person we are looking for!

Rosmellyn Surgery runs a Patient Participation Group which is a route for people to advise and inform the practice on what matters most to patients and to help identify solutions to problems.

Members of the PPGs should think about the wider patient interest and not just their own personal concerns when serving on the PPG.

If yout think this might be for you please contact the surgery with your contact details and we will be able to provide the current group with your information.

With the expected influx of tourists to Cornwall from this weekend, we ask that all holidaymakers call 111 if you need urgent help. 

Alternatively you can contact your own GP surgery who will have access to your medical records. Your own surgery will be able to consult with you remotely and be able to electronically send a prescription to a chemist of your choice close to where you are staying.

By taking these actions you are helping the local NHS to minimise the number of minor presentations to our emergency department and ensure people are directed to the appropriate service or self-service care options.

Please support us by sharing this message with your family and friends so that we can avoid overcrowding and the increased risk of Covid-19 transmission to patients and staff.

From all at Rosmellyn we would like to take this opportunity to thank our patients for their continued support during this time and the coming months ahead.

Stay Safe.

Thank you.

NOTIFICATION: In line with most recent guidance we are advising all patients aged 3 years and over who attend Rosmellyn Surgery for an appointment to come wearing a face covering. This will not only help to provide you with some protection but also the clinician that you are due to see.

We also ask that if you have an appointment that has been booked in advance and are showing COVID symptoms you phone the practice to cancel your appointment and we will happily re-arrange the appointment for when you are symptom free.

We thank you all for your patience and support in trying to keep our community and Medical Centre safe!!

The Partners and Management of Rosmellyn Surgery.

The advice around coronavirus (COVID-19) is changing regularly, therefore please use: www.111.nhs.uk/covid-19 to keep up to date with the latest information.

Our Stop Smoking Counsellor Ali Badcock is working remotely during COVID and can be contacted Monday to Thursday on her work mobile: 07715034107
Ali is available to offer help and support to patients who she has previously seen in her clinics but also to any of our patients who are thinking of giving up smoking during these difficult times.

 Rosmellyn Surgery has now settled into St Clare Medical Centre.

Our new address is: St Clare Medical Centre,  St Clare Street, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 3DX. Our telephone number remains the same 01736 330909.

The St Clare Medical Centre houses Rosmellyn Surgery, Alverton Practice and Sunnyside Surgery.

The purpose-built medical centre has state of art facilities including plenty of patient car parking.

On arrival for your appointments you will continue to be greeted by friendly faces from each of the practices in our brand-new reception area. Staff members will direct you to the appropriate waiting areas ready for your appointment. Each Practice continues to work exactly as it does now, the only difference being the location.

St Clare Medical Centre can be accessed via bus routes A17, 16 and 409. There are also some specific times for Penwith College buses that tend to run early in the morning and during the evening. These buses will drop you opposite the Medical Centre on routes 7, 11A, 18C, 236/7 and 251.

Please continue to make your appointments as normal with our receptionists who will also be more than happy to help with any concerns you may have.

As some patients are aware, Dr Sue Williams has recently retired after many years of working as a GP in Penzance. She will be greatly missed by the Rosmellyn team and of course her patients.

We would to reintroduce Dr Susanne Wauchope back to the Rosmellyn team who has previously worked with us as a locum. Dr Wauchope will be replacing a couple of Dr Williams' clinics working on Thursdays and Fridays. The patients who were previously registered with Dr Williams, will now be registered with either Dr Wauchope or another GP partner.

There is more information on the NHS Choices website.

Outside of our normal opening hours, you should ring NHS 111 direct – just dial 111. They provide out-of-hours cover in the county. If you need to see the Doctor, you may be asked to attend a local clinic.

If you are bed bound by your illness, or housebound, the doctor will visit you at home.

Details of all consultations are passed to your own doctor at Rosmellyn by 10:00 the following day by email.

In an emergency, you should still ring 999 for an ambulance.
