Ranked 2 of 10 in GP surgeries in Telford

Best for: Newport patients wanting a small town practice

Unknown

Wellington Road, Newport, Telford, Shropshire, TF10 7HG · Service area: Telford

Wellington Road Surgery in short

Wellington Road Surgery is a small-town GP practice on Wellington Road in Newport, with appointments, prescriptions, sick notes and test results covered on its website. The CQC rates the surgery Good overall, which puts the formal quality mark in place. For Newport patients, the surgery is the local list with the everyday services already online.

The record shows the everyday services covered on one website: appointments, prescriptions, new-patient registration, sick notes, test results and online services, with phone and online routes for contact [1]. The surgery sits on Wellington Road in Newport and registers patients inside its published catchment, so surrounding streets should check the boundary before applying [1]. For Newport patients the picture is a small-town list with the basics already online [1].

Patients give Wellington Road Surgery a middling verdict, at 3.5 from 67 Google reviews, our headline figure for this review. Google is the only public rating source in our current record, and a base of that size reads as modest rather than deep. This review takes the score as fair for a small town list rather than damning.

Our judgement is that the surgery suits Newport patients who want a small practice with the basics covered and a Good CQC rating behind it. What counts against it is the middle of the scale patient score and a website that publishes no private fee detail. Neither gap is unusual in this round.

Questions about Wellington Road Surgery

Is Wellington Road Surgery any good?

Solid rather than stellar: second in our Telford GP table with 3.5 on Google from 67 reviews and a Good CQC rating [3] [2]. It suits Newport patients who want a small town practice with the everyday services online. Read the Google reviews in full, then check the catchment and register.

Is Wellington Road Surgery CQC registered?

CQC registration with a Good overall rating is listed on the register [2]. That is the marker to look for, and you can read the latest inspection report by searching the surgery name on the CQC site. Repeat the check if you move practices. The entry also names who runs the service, so open it and read the latest report before you apply [2].

What does Wellington Road Surgery 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 Wellington Road Surgery work?

From Wellington Road in Newport, 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. If your street falls outside the line, ask the practice directly whether it accepts out-of-area registrations.

How is Wellington Road Surgery ranked?

It ranks second of the ten Telford GP surgeries in our September round, the small-town pick for Newport. Shawbirch Medical Centre sits above it and Court Street Medical Practice just below. Read the full review above, then check the catchment and register. Patient scores move between rounds, so treat the gaps above and below as current rather than fixed.

How do I register with Wellington Road Surgery?

Start on the practice website, which covers new-patient registration beside appointments, prescriptions and test results [1], or ask at reception on Wellington Road. Have your postcode ready so the team can confirm your street sits inside the published catchment [1]. The new-patient pages set out each step, so follow them rather than phoning first [1].

How does Wellington Road Surgery compare with the other Telford practices in this round?

It sits second as the small-town pick, with a Good CQC rating matching most of the table and a mid-table patient score from a modest base [2] [3]. Against the leader it trades patient depth for a formal Good rating, and against the rest it trades list size for a neighbourhood feel. For Newport patients the local door matters more than either gap.
