Health chiefs in England are encouraging parents to be aware of the signs of respiratory illnesses in young children, as data from Public Health England (PHE) shows cases are starting to rise in parts of the country.

Welcome to Walford Mill Medical Centre
Providing patient centred care in a timely & equitable way

Walford Mill Medical Centre is a long-established Wimborne Practice and our aim is to provide a high standard of service for our patients, based on traditional values of family medicine. We have designed this website to help you get the most out of our surgery by informing you of the services we offer.
Walford Mill Medical Centre is a purpose-built GP surgery. It is situated in a picturesque part of Wimborne adjacent to Walford Mill and the River Allen. The surgery is sympathetically designed to be in keeping with its surroundings and is equipped to the highest standards so that we can ensure the best possible medical care for our patients. We have five GP consulting suites, three nurse treatment rooms, an adjoining pharmacy (a business independent from the surgery) and a spacious patient waiting area.
There is ample car parking at the Medical Centre and in the adjacent Walford Mill Craft Centre public car park.
We have a dedicated team of Healthcare Professionals who are on hand to help with any problems, backed up by a committed Patient Services Team who are trained to offer a high standard of care navigation through the healthcare system.
We share your medical records with other services treating you. For full details, please see our page on your personal data.
