Grove Medical Centre is located in a residential area of Egham and provides general medical services to approximately 14,100 patients. The practice is a training and teaching practice. (A training practice has GP trainees who are qualified doctors completing a specialisation in general practice.) The practice also provides training for nurses and paramedic practitioners.

There are three GP partners (two male and one female) and three salaried GPs. The GPs are supported by three female practice nurses, two healthcare assistants, a team of receptionists, administrative staff, a practice manager, a deputy practice manager and an assistant practice manager. At the time of our visit there were two GP registrars attached to the practice.

Data available to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) shows the practice serves a higher than average number of patients who are aged between 35 and 54 years of age when compared to the national average. The number of patients aged 60 to 79 is slightly lower than average. The number of registered patients suffering income deprivation (affecting both adults and children) is below the national average.

The practice is open Monday to Friday between 8am and 6.30pm. Extended hours appointments are offered every Saturday morning from 8am to 11am with appointments available to see either a GP or a nurse. Appointments can be booked over the telephone, online or in person at the surgery. Patients are provided information on how to access an out of hour’s service by calling the surgery or viewing the practice website.

The practice is part of a federation of GP practices that offer evening appointments until 9pm and weekend appointments 9am until 12pm. These appointments are run from locations in Walton-on-Thames, Ashford, Sunbury-on-Thames and Woking. The federation also provides access to NHS GPs through a smart phone app.
