Situated on Lawson Road Magdalen Medical Practice is a good NHS surgery. They have recently made improvements to the lobby area to include automatic doors. The waiting area is bright, thanks to a glass panelled ceiling, and well laid out. It is surrounded by an open corridor from which the doctor's rooms lead off. There are a few toys and books for children to play with and of course plenty of magazines for adults. The surgery has an easy self service check-in system which reduces the queues at reception. Often only one person on reception though which can still lead to delays. Repeat prescriptions can be made at the surgery or online through their website. You can pretty much always get an appointment with a doctor on the day you phone if you ring early enough (8am) but they can't guarantee you will see your own doctor. Due to this I have seen quite a few different doctors but have found them all helpful and friendly. read more
