Welcome to
Greens Norton and Weedon Medical Practice
Greens Norton Medical Centre and Upper Nene Village Practice are two long established rural dispensing practices which merged in April 2010 to form Greens Norton and Weedon Medical Practice. The new combined practice operates from modern purpose-built premises on two sites, one in Greens Norton and the other in Weedon. Our aim is to provide high quality medical care in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and promote healthy living with an emphasis on disease prevention.
The practice covers a wide area and the villages we serve are listed on our map page. If you live more than a mile from a pharmacy, both Greens Norton and Weedon dispensaries can dispense medicines to you.

NOOH (Northamptonshire Out of Hours) is the out-of-hours service which delivers emergency care to patients in South Northants and the Daventry area.

You may be given telephone advice, asked to attend an emergency surgery or visited at home depending upon the severity of your problem.
Non-urgent appointments can be made and repeat prescriptions ordered online by using a service called SystmOnline via the following link:

SMS Texting
The Practice has begun sending appointment reminders by SMS messaging to your mobile phone. Please get in touch with either Greens Norton or Weedon reception or email gnwmpadmin@nhs.net if you DO NOT wish to be reminded of future appointments by receiving an SMS text reminder. Please make sure we have your up to date contact details at all times.
With the steep rise in postage costs we are looking at alternative methods of contact for sending appointments to those patients on regular recall for things such as diabetic reviews and asthma checks. We are therefore updating contact details with email addresses - please contact gnwmpadmin@nhs.net to update your details. Please note that emails should not contain any clincal information and it is your responsibilty to ensure your email is secure.
Building repairs at Greens Norton
The start date has been scheduled for the 1st May. We hope to keep disruption to a minimum but part of the dispensary will be relocating to another part of the building. The collection point for prescriptions will remain the same whilst most of the repairs take place. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding at this time.
Patient Reference Group
We are still recruiting patients to the Patient Reference Group. For further details and an enrolment form click on either the Greens Norton Patient Panel or Weedon Patient Panel links on the left. Forms can be downloaded and sent in to either surgery or scroll down to the bottom of the page for the on-line form.
The first survey has just been undertaken - for the results and the Action Plan click on the "Survey Results" button at the top of this page.
