Consultations with the doctor or nurse are by appointment. Please try to plan ahead where possible. You can request a face to face, telephone or video consultation. Please ensure you specify which when you call the surgery.

A number of appointments may be booked in advance up to 3 months ahead. Others are booked on the day. Please call or telephone between 08:00 & 18.30 for an appointment  Please make a separate appointment for each person to be seen. 

Emergencies

In cases of serious illness, there is always a doctor on duty. A telephone answering service may intercept your call and give you the number of the duty doctor.

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with the Practice nurse rather than the doctor. The Practice nurse is qualified to deal with many conditions and you may be seen more quickly.

If you feel you need to seek the advice of a doctor or nurse, telephone consultations are available.

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:00.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. The GP will only visit you at home if she thinks that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule a house call.

You can also be visited at home by a District 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.

You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.
