Primary and emergency care
General practitioner
Your GP is your family doctor and is there to see your child if you have concerns about their health or development:
Children and young people clinics (Moredon & Swindon Health Centre)
The clinic cares for youngsters, toddlers and infants suffering from common colds, aches or pains but not life-threatening conditions, that are unable to get an appointment with their own GP.
The clinic runs from Monday to Sunday between 8.00am and 8.00pm (8.00am to 4.00pm at weekends).
The contact number is: 0800 111 0088.
Pharmacist
Your local pharmacist or chemist has knowledge of everyday health issues. There are often pharmacies in supermarkets and many are open late.
