Wellington Medical Practice key details
Most important Wellington-specific point: NHS and CQC use slightly different address labels for the practice. Use TF1 1PZ, and check your appointment message before travelling.
Chapel Lane or Victoria Avenue — which Wellington address should you use?
| Source | Address shown | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| NHS profile | Chapel Lane, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 1PZ | Useful for NHS profile, registration and patient-facing NHS service lookup. |
| CQC profile | The Health Centre, Victoria Avenue, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 1PZ | Useful for inspection rating, provider record and formal regulatory listing. |
| Practical map use | Wellington Medical Practice, The Health Centre / Chapel Lane, TF1 1PZ | Use the map section below and confirm with your appointment text if you are unsure. |
Local tip: Because this is a shared health-centre style location, search the full practice name and postcode, not just “Wellington doctor,” to avoid Somerset, London, Aldershot or Wellington Road results.
Wellington Medical Practice appointment routes that matter
| Need | Best first route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Routine GP appointment | Use the official practice appointment system or phone the surgery. | One main problem, symptom duration, medication, preferred callback time. |
| Same-day concern | Contact the practice early or use NHS 111 if urgent and you are unsure. | Explain red flags, worsening symptoms, age, vulnerability and why it cannot wait. |
| Treatment room / nurse appointment | Official online-access page says treatment room appointment booking is available through online access. | Know whether you need bloods, dressing, injection, review, smear or another treatment-room service. |
| Evening or weekend access | Official opening/extended-hours information says evening and weekend appointments may be bookable through the practice. | Ask if the appointment is at the practice or another extended-access location. |
| Emergency symptoms | Call 999, not GP reception. | Chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, heavy bleeding or major injury. |
Do this before contacting reception: write down the main issue, how long it has been happening, what changed, current medicines, and whether you can accept a telephone, face-to-face, video or text response.

Video: managing GP appointments through the NHS App
This is relevant because Wellington Medical Practice references online access and treatment-room appointment booking. The video is general NHS App guidance, not Wellington-specific, so always follow the practice’s own appointment system first.
Use carefully: NHS App appointment features depend on what your GP surgery has enabled. If no suitable slot or option appears, contact Wellington Medical Practice directly.

Use the postcode

Common Wellington Medical Practice mistakes to avoid
Using the wrong Wellington
This article is for Wellington Medical Practice in Telford, not Wellington Somerset, Wellington Way London or Aldershot.
Ignoring address labels
NHS shows Chapel Lane while CQC shows The Health Centre, Victoria Avenue. Use the postcode and appointment message.
Not giving symptoms
Give symptom, duration, severity, medication and what has changed. “Need doctor” is not enough.
Assuming all appointments are in-hours
Extended access may mean evening or weekend appointment options. Always confirm location and time.
Waiting with emergency symptoms
Call 999 for life-threatening symptoms. Do not wait for GP reception or online reply.
Missing callbacks
Keep your phone nearby and check unknown numbers after submitting an appointment request.
