Appointments

Appointments are available to book in advance and on the day and patients are reminded that booking on the day is very useful in certain circumstances, but is not the only option for booking an appointment.

Reasons for using On the Day Appointments

• your condition is of a more urgent nature and requires treatment on that day

Reasons for booking in advance

• your condition is on going and not restricted by a time limit
• medication reviews
• continuation sick notes
• follow up appointments eg if the doctor asks you to come back and see him/her you should be booking your next appointment at reception before you leave or as soon as you get home if you need to check a work rota first.

Our telephones are very congested at 8:00am due to the overwhelming volume of calls we receive.  If any of the reasons for booking in advance apply to you or you know you will need to see your GP routinely it would be apprecaited and of huge benefit to yourself, the surgery and other patients if you would endeavour to book these appointments as far in advance as you possibly can.

Consulting Times

Home Visits

Requests for the doctor to visit you in your home should be made before 11.00am if possible. Please give your name, address, telephone number and brief details of the problem.If the visit is urgent please specify this.

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.
