Swillington Health Practice Update
Important information regarding the closure of the Swillington Health Practice on Friday 31st October 2025
Dear Patient (s),
Closure of Swillington Health Practice on Friday 31 October 2025
We have sent you this letter because you, or someone you live with, is a patient of Swillington Health Practice.
After a thorough and transparent engagement process, we have received approval from NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board to close our branch surgery at Swillington.
Swillington Health Practice will close at 12.00pm on Friday 31 October 2025.
We will start to transition patient services over to our other sites at Oulton Medical Centre and Marsh Street Surgery towards the end of October 2025.
What happens next
As a patient currently registered with Oulton Medical Centre you do not need to do anything. You will continue to be registered with Oulton Medical Centre and will be able to see a health care professional at either our Oulton Medical Centre or Marsh Street Surgery sites.
Oulton Medical Centre and Marsh Street Surgery are open from 8am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.
Housebound patients
Patients on our housebound register and those who are clinically too ill to attend surgery or who become housebound will be visited in their own home.
The telephone number for Oulton Medical Centre is 0113 2822138 and the number for Marsh St Surgery is 0113 2821571.
Please be assured that whilst a decision has been made to close Swillington Health Practice, we are committed to continue to provide high quality care from our two remaining surgery sites.
We have listened to concerns raised during the engagement period and we will continue to engage with patients and address any concerns raised.
If you are worried or have questions about how you will continue to receive care, it is important you speak to us.
From 31 October 2025 patients can order their repeat prescriptions in the following ways:
- By using the NHS App
- By using SystmOnline via the practice website
- By placing the repeat slip in the box at Oulton Medical Centre or Marsh Street Surgery
- By post addressed to Oulton Medical Centre
If anyone needs support to access their medicines after 31 October 2025, please either call into the surgery and speak to the staff or contact us by telephone on 0113 2822138.
