Click here to visit our pharmacy website at Welcome to Charing SurgeryPractice HistoryThe practice was founded around 1910 when Dr Littledale Senior started a practice at Wakely House. He was joined in partnership by his son, Dr 'Dick' Littledale in 1936. On his father's death in 1945 the surgery moved to Ludwell House. In 1953 he took a partner and the surgery moved to its site in Station Road. In 1961 the practice was expanding with two branch surgeries and a third partner was appointed. In 1980 the next-door property was added to give extra space for the Primary Health Care team. In 1989 our fourth partner was appointed. We provide full medical care for 21 villages and communities around Charing, including the dispensing of medicines. The new Charing Surgery opened in February 1997. Here we are able to expand the range of services available including a full dispensing pharmacy and various complementary therapies. The surgery provides disabled access throughout the building. A disabled user toilet is situated on the ground floor and a lift is available for patients visiting the first floor. In 2009 a new extension to the practice was completed providing five new consulting rooms, a community dispensary / pharmacy and an additional waiting room. also, two new treatment suites have been added to enable more scope for consultant-led clinics to be run in the future at the practice. Patient Participation GroupThe Charing Surgery Liaison Group meet once a quarter. We find this group valuable as a means of feedback from our patients.
