Amwell Surgery is a partnership which is over 200 years old. During it’s long history the surgery has operated from various addresses in Lord Street and the High Street. From 1925 – 1959 the surgery was at 68 High St the former home of John L. McAdam (of the Tarmacadam family). The 1939 – 1949 war was not a good time for the practice as one partner died suddenly, another was away serving in the army leaving the remaining partner, who was over 70 years old! This meant that when everyone had to register with a doctor in 1948 the practice got off to a poor start. From 1945 – 1958 the two partners had barely 5000 patients between them. However in 1958 the practice took over a small practice in Rye Road with 999 patients. This enabled the recruitment of a third partner. In July 2017 the practice re-located to a new purpose built Medical Centre in Fawkon Walk the accommodate our growing list size of 12,500 patients.
