About Minehead Medical Centre

Since 1990, Minehead Medical Centre has provided healthcare services to its community. It is the only GP service in the area. The other two GP surgeries are located much further out on the outskirts. The patient list size is 12,330 with a slightly higher number of ageing population when compared to the rest of Somerset. In recent years, Minehead Medical Centre has undergone refurbishment works to provide additional clinical rooms on the ground floor.

Supported by the larger Group, Minehead Medical Centre delivers excellent care to the patients and communities around Minehead. The Medical Centre is a central hub in the town, with a team as close-knit as the rest of Minehead’s population.
