Local Health Services

We have 2 GP practices in the area:

• Newbury Street Practice, The Health Centre, Mably Way, Wantage, OX12 9BN
  Tel: 01235 639521
• Church Street Practice, The Health Centre, Mably Way, Wantage, OX12 9BN
  Tel: 01235 770245

These two practices in the Health Centre in Mably Way, Newbury Street and Church Street, are both essentially full.

Since the Health Centre was opened there have been in excess of 2,000 new homes built in the area, with very little improvement to the local infrastructure. A plan to add an additional 18 consulting rooms at the Centre P21/V2416/FUL has just been approved by the District Council (March 2022) so construction should start soon although it is expected to take about 2 years. In the meantime, space in the health centre is severely stretched.
