Welcome to Pioneer Medical

Welcome to the Pioneer Medical Group, formed by the merger of Avonmouth, Bradgate and Ridingleaze surgeries. We are a friendly, multi-site teaching practice providing primary care services in Bristol. We work hard to provide an excellent service, which is demonstrated by patient surveys and the CQC.
As part of a national initiative to offer additional appointments outside of normal opening hours, we are working together with other local practices to offer more appointments before 8am, after 6.30pm and on Saturdays and Sundays.  Speak to reception to book an appointment or find out more.
There is a lot of information on the site - opening times, self-care advice, chronic disease clinics, registration forms, contact details etc. Check out our TopTenTips page to make the most of our service. For news, updates and local information do visit our Facebook page. We value your feedback. If you can't find something use the search bar on the footer of every page. If it's not here and you think it should be let us know. Click for easy read information or to request information in another format.

Flu Vaccines are in!

We are pleased to report that we now have full stocks of influenza (flu) vaccine supplies. Despite placing our vaccine orders nearly a year in advance, we have been thwarted by a national delay in deliveries. Please can we extend apologies to those who have been unable to access the vaccine up to now.
This year there have been some changes to the flu campaign with 3 different vaccines used, depending upon you age. The over 65y old group now have a stronger adjuvant vaccine. Under 65y olds at risk have a new quadravailant vaccine (protects against 4 strains of flu virus). There is no change to the under 18y old live nasal vaccine.

Please book in for your flu vaccine if you haven't already received one. All those over 65years of age are eligible. As are those under 65y of age in the at risk groups. If you are a carer for a relative you are also entitled.

We run pre-booked flu clinics at every site each working day at 11am. If you can't manage this then please discuss with reception and we can arrange to fit you in another time.

If our records indicate that you are eligible you will be sent up to three text message invitations to attend for a flu vaccine. Please make sure that we have your up to date mobile number at the surgery so that you receive our invitation. If you do not want to have a vaccine, please tell us and we will stop sending you invitations. Your text reminder will have a reply number to allow you to do this easily without calling or visiting the surgery.

Why use patient access?

View all the available appointments and pick the one that best suits your schedule. Book a slot even if we are closed. Order your medicines. Rearrange an appointment without having to  call. Do all of this from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits, from your PC, tablet or phone.

Download the Android or Apple app to make it even easier!

Learn more. Register for patient access at reception (please bring identification).
