How to contact us
You can now submit an admin or medical request clicking the link above to save you waiting on the phone. If you need to submit a sick note (fit note) request, request test results, GP letter or if you have a general question or concern regarding your health we have created an easy questionnaire for you to complete and this will get sent through to the practice.
We ask that you allow at least 3 working days for admin requests only to be dealt with. Medical requests go straight to our Triaging Doctors who will look at your request and someone will be in contact with you that very same day with an outcome to your request.
Medical Requests are open Monday – Friday from 8am
Admin Requests are open Monday – Friday 8am-6:30pm
We are using digital transcription software during consultations to aid accurate record keeping. Please let the clinician know if you do not want this to be used during your consultation.
NHS App
You can use the NHS App to check your symptoms and get instant advice, order repeat prescriptions, view your GP medical record and more.
Welcome to the Village Health Group
Village Health Group was established in 2020 from the merger of two existing GP surgeries, East Leake Medical Group (ELM Group) and Keyworth Medical Practice.
Originally, ELM Group started as a small rural practice ran single-handedly by a doctor in Costock. After the war, the population of East Leake village expanded and the practice moved to East Leake. In 1968 East Leake Health Centre opened and it was the first purpose built health centre in Nottinghamshire. Later, Sutton Bonington Surgery and Church House Surgery in Ruddington became part of the practice, which was renamed East Leake Medical Group.
Keyworth Medical Practice started out as two individual GPs working from their homes in Keyworth and Tollerton. Keyworth Health Centre was opened in 1970 and was later extended in 1995. The surgery relocated to the newly built Keyworth Primary Care Centre in 2007.
Village Health Group is an active member of the Rushcliffe Primary Care Network.
