Welcome to the website of the Ashbourne Health Centre doctors.

We are a 5 partner practice with a list size of approximately 7400 patients living in the town itself and the outlying villages. We are long established in Ashbourne, currently occupying a centrally located health centre, but due to move to new purpose built premises on the edge of the town in the near future.

In addition to the 5 partners – 3 female and 2 male – we employ a doctor through the Doctors Retainer scheme, and have GP Registrars completing their training with us as we are approved as a Training Practice. In order to maintain this status we are required to meet the highest standards of primary health care delivery and are regularly inspected to ensure that this is the case.

We are a dispensing practice which enables us to provide medication for any of our patients who live more than a mile from the nearest chemist.

As well as traditional “general practice”, we offer well organised care for people with chronic medical conditions, preventative advice to all age groups, and a variety of specialised clinics including antenatal care, child health clinics and minor surgery. Further information can be found on the following pages.

The services we provide continue to be reviewed and we welcome comments and suggestions from our patients. 

There are other services based at the Health centre in addition to ourselves, including: Chiropody, speech therapy, occupational therapy, school health services, district nursing and community matrons, smoking cessation advice, welfare rights advice, dietician services and clinics for community paediatrics, psychiatry, incontinence/urinary problems and cancer care.
