Wokingham Medical Centre doctors and clinical team
The official practice team page lists GP partners, GPs, registrars and wider practice staff. Doctor availability can change by day, session, leave and rota, so do not assume a named GP is available every day.
Listed GP doctors
The practice team page includes names such as Dr Vipan Bhardwaj, Dr Krishan Parekh, Dr Leena Gangavarapu, Dr Catherine Tichler, Dr Dina Robertson, Dr Murtaza Zair, Dr Mandeep Sahota and others.
You may see other clinicians
For many issues, a nurse, pharmacist, GP registrar, advanced practitioner or other clinician may be the right person. Reception triage helps route you to the right care.
Want a specific GP?
Ask reception when booking, but be flexible. Waiting for a specific doctor can mean a longer wait, especially for urgent or same-day problems.
Patient tip: For continuity of care, mention if the issue is ongoing and you previously spoke to a particular doctor. The surgery may try to maintain continuity where possible, but urgent access usually comes first.
How to book an appointment at Wokingham Medical Centre
The practice states that appointments can be made by telephone or online services. Most appointments are made available on the day, with a smaller number available to pre-book.
Choose the right booking route
Use the phone, online services, NHS App or the practice’s online consultation route where available. If it is urgent, say clearly that you need help today.
Explain the problem briefly
Reception may ask for a short reason. This helps triage you to a GP, nurse, pharmacist, online advice or urgent care route. You do not need to share unnecessary private detail.
Accept the right clinician
You may not always need a GP. Nurses, pharmacists and other clinicians can handle many medication, minor illness, review and routine care issues.
If routine slots are full
The practice says staff are trained to seek clinician advice if a matter is urgent. Depending on the issue, you may be offered an appointment or signposted to another suitable service.
Same-day appointment call script
Wokingham Medical Centre repeat prescriptions and NHS App services

NHS App

Nominated pharmacy
If you have a nominated pharmacy, prescriptions can usually be sent electronically. Check the pharmacy before collecting urgent medicine.

Order repeat medication before you run out. Weekends, bank holidays, GP review requests and pharmacy stock issues can delay collection.
