Counselling and Psychology

The Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership offer a large number of courses in Swindon covering such things as depression, anger management, bereavement and relationship breakdown. All of these are available to our patients and you can contact the course organisers directly, you don't need a referral from us. All of the courses are free of charge although small contributions to the tea and biscuits are encouraged!

Their website contains a full list of courses although they do recommend a stress management course as a first step. We also have a counsellor working with the practice. For an appointment for the counsellor please contact the practice - details on the right side of this page.

 Emergency eye care service is provided by Specsavers.  62/63 Regent Street Swindon SN1 1JS 01793 617858

Free NHS appointments available at local opticians - you must ring them first do not just visit premises

Free urgent eyecare services now available at opticians

People across Bath, North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire can now access free NHS treatment for urgent eye care from their local optician. 

The brand new service commissioned by the local NHS, means that high street opticians can offer free treatment for urgent eye conditions such as itchy and red eyes, scratched or swollen eyes or unexplained reduced vision. 

Anyone, whatever age and whether registered with an optician or not, will be able to access treatment for any new or worsening eye conditions.

This is a temporary service set up as a result of concerns that many patients were not seeking treatment for eye conditions due to worries about exposing themselves to Covid19 by visiting A&E departments or their GP. 

A full list of those opticians who are offering this new service is available at
