Welcome to Sandwich Medical Practice

Sandwich Medical Practice is a progressive GP surgery based in the heart of Sandwich, Kent. Established in 2019 through the merger of The Market Place and The Butchery surgeries, we are proud to be part of the Deal & Sandwich Primary Care Network, working closely with neighbouring practices to care for our local community.

Rated “Good” by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we offer a wide range of services for patients of all ages. As a training practice, we also support GP trainees, doctors, nursing and medical students as they gain experience and develop their skills.

From September 2025, we have introduced the NHS Modern General Practice Model, which is designed to make it easier, safer, and more efficient for patients to access the care they need.

Our team is friendly, approachable, and committed to providing compassionate, patient-centred care for everyone in our community.

NHS Pharmacy 1st
Anima

Please ignore any appointments showing on your NHS or Patient Access app after submitting an Anima request - the practice will contact you directly.

We are working to resolve this issue - if you have any questions, please contact us, thank you for your understanding.

NEW APPOINTMENT SYSTEM: ANIMA

 

On Monday, 1st September 2025, the way you access your GP will change as we move to the NHS Modern General Practice Model, which is already being used successfully by many GP surgeries nationwide.

From this date ALL appointment requests must be made via Anima - this includes both urgent AND routine requests

Please note that appointments with our Healthcare Assistants and Nurses for services such as blood tests, ECGs, cervical screening, blood pressure checks, contraceptive reviews, asthma and COPD reviews, B12 injections, and flu or covid vaccinations can still be booked by visiting the surgery or contacting us by phone.

If you are unsure, please speak to a member of our team who will be happy to help you - we are here to support you with this change.

Important: Upcoming Staff Training Afternoons (PLT)

  • Thursday, 9th October, 2025
  • Thursday, 27th November, 2025
  • Wednesday, 25th February, 2026
  • Thursday, 26th March, 2026

A Protected Learning Time (PLT) day is when the surgery closes for an afternoon to allow the entire practice team — GPs, nurses, and administrative staff — to take part in professional development and training. These sessions are important because they support Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all staff and help us to improve the quality and safety of patient care.

On PLT days, the surgery will be closed from 1:00PM. Patients with urgent medical needs during this time should contact the Out of Hours or Urgent Care Service by calling NHS 111. In a medical emergency, always dial 999.
