Appointments

Except in emergencies, all consultations are made by appointment. Appointments are made via a central computer system and can be made between 0830hrs and 1700hours Mondays to Fridays. Our patients’ records are computerised and accessible from each of the Surgery buildings. We operate a ‘book on the day’ appointment system.

We will try to offer you an appointment that will meet your requirements in choice of doctor and location. There will be times, however, when the only appointment available will be with a doctor other than your regular doctor and at a different building.

A small number of appointments can be booked up to 7 days in advance in order to facilitate patients who have to work or have transportation needs, but please advise the receptionist if this applies. Our practice nursing team appointments may be booked in advance.

Routine checks for blood pressure, contraceptive pills and HRT etc., can be booked with a practice nurse.  

Please let us know if you are unable to keep your appointment.  

Telephone Advice

The doctors are usually available to give advice by telephone after morning surgery at around 11.30am  

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00 if you require a home visit.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
