Appointments

Make an appointment to see the doctor or nurse through our online booking facility called Patient Access. Please ask at reception for details, alternatively book an appointment by telephone.

We book the majority of our appointments in advance with just a few slots for urgent appointments each day. We hope you will all help us with managing the system which will require that you plan in advance for your routine care and medication reviews while building in flexibility for you to be seen in a reasonable time for more acute or pressing issues

We also want to encourage you to think how you can manage simple self limiting conditions yourself with some support from advice on our website, 111 or information leaflets available from reception.

Telephone consultations

We have Telephone consultations available Monday - Friday: Ring from 8.00am to request a call back and the duty doctor will call you back. Good for advice, when you don’t need to come in

If you can’t make your appointment, cancel it! Someone else will be able to use it. 

There are no pre-bookable appointments on Saturday – first come, first seen

Home Visits

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

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.
