Welcome To Densham Surgery

The Practice was founded in about 1900 and moved from its original premises on Densham’s Corner into a brand new health centre in Lawson Street in 1974.  The health centre was later replaced by the current building which was opened in 2006 when the practice became Densham Surgery, named after the practice founder, Dr Henry Densham. 

There have been a considerable number of changes over the years, especially since April 1990.  We now employ more staff and run more clinics. 

We consider that we provide comprehensive health care of a high standard.

Think Pharmacy First

People often visit their GP with minor illnesses that a local pharmacist could help with. Instead of booking a GP appointment, you can visit your local pharmacy , saving you time and with no appointment needed – you can just walk in.

All pharmacists can give advice and medicine if you need it that will help clear up the problem. If your condition is more serious, they will refer you to your GP.

What’s more, many pharmacies are open in the evenings and on the weekends.

Can I get free treatment?

If you don’t normally pay for your medicines, then you don’t need to pay with Think Pharmacy First – you can get them free and over the counter from your local pharmacist without the need to see your GP.
