Opening hours are from 08:00 to 18:30, Monday to Friday, when the reception office is open to book appointments. You may make an appointment in person or by phone on 01245 262255 or online via the link at the top of this page*.

If you opt to use the call back system when making your appointment it is important that you do not use your phone for any other purpose until you have had your call back, otherwise the phone system will remove you from the queue.

The receptionist will try and book you with the doctor of your choice, but if this is not possible an alternative will be offered. If you cannot keep your appointment, please cancel it so that it can be used for someone else.

To access the online booking system you will need to request a username and password from the surgery.

Urgent Appointments

A proportion of each day’s appointments are reserved for same-day booking, and these are particularly appropriate for acute illnesses.

Our receptionists are trained to help you and make the best use of the doctors’ time. We hope you will understand if at times they cannot satisfy your requests completely.

Out-of-hours appointments will be available from 6.30pm to 8pm on weekdays, and from 9am to 5pm on Saturdays.

In response to patient feedback, we have arranged the following.  Appointments will be available as telephone appointments or face to face appointments at the Baddow Village Surgery, Longmead Avenue, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2 7EZ.

All the out-of-hours appointments are non urgent, and will be routine. They are not available as walk-in appointments. You will need to book the appointments in advance.

To book an out-of-hours appointment, you should contact your regular GP practice in the usual way. They will advise you on the appointments which are available, and which healthcare professional is the right person to help you.

Visits are only done when, in the judgement of the clinician, they are justified by clinical need. Patients are responsible for providing transport to the surgery when this is not the case.

Acute visits should be requested as early in the day as possible so that they may be allocated to our clinicians (doctors or Nurse practitioners) in the most effective way.

You can cancel your appointment by email:

The practice is approved for training. We usually have one or two GP registrars, working under the supervision of Dr Adiukwu and/or Dr Singh. Registrars are experienced doctors gaining the skills necessary to work independently as a GP. As part of this training, it is occasionally necessary to record consultations. Your consent will always be requested for this.

From time to time medical or nursing students are attached to the practice. Patients are always informed, and have a right to refuse to have a student in their consultation.
