Trading as Shawbirch Medical Health Practice Limited · Brandon Avenue, Admaston, Telford, Shropshire, TF5 0DU · Service area: Telford

Shawbirch Medical Centre in short

Shawbirch Medical Centre is a GP practice on Brandon Avenue in Admaston, backed by an active limited company on the Companies House record since 2019. Its website runs total triage for appointments and medical queries, with prescriptions and registration alongside. That mix of an established company footing and online-first contact is what sets the practice apart in this round.

Patients rate Shawbirch Medical Centre highest in this round, at 4.1 from 90 Google reviews, our headline figure for this review. Google is the only public rating source in our current record, so that score carries the story alone. For a Telford practice, that depth of positive response is rare.

Our judgement is that the practice suits Admaston patients who want an established list with online-first contact and the strongest patient response in the round. What counts against it is the missing CQC inspection rating, since the regulator lists the practice but has published no rating yet, alongside no published fee detail for private work.

Questions about Shawbirch Medical Centre

Is Shawbirch Medical Centre any good?

On the evidence, yes: it tops our Telford GP table with 4.1 on Google from 90 reviews, the strongest patient response in the round, plus an active limited company behind the name [3] [4]. It suits Admaston patients who want online-first contact through total triage. Check you live inside the catchment, then register online or at reception.

Is Shawbirch Medical Centre CQC registered?

The practice appears on the CQC register, though the register shows no inspection rating yet [2]. That is a thinner quality mark than the Good ratings most Telford practices carry. Search the practice name on the CQC site to see the current entry before you register.

What does Shawbirch Medical Centre charge?

The website publishes no prices, fee scale or VAT position [1]. NHS appointments and registration cost nothing, and prescriptions carry the national per-item charge. Anything private, from sick notes to medical reports, is charged at the practice's own rate. Ask for the fee list in writing before you request private work.

Where does Shawbirch Medical Centre work?

From Brandon Avenue in Admaston, Telford, serving patients inside its published catchment [1]. Surgeries register by area rather than taking the whole town, so confirm your street sits inside the boundary on the practice website. Send your postcode with any enquiry to confirm you are covered.
