Appointments

Consultations are by appointment only. To make one, telephone the appointment line or call in surgery hours.

You can ask to see whichever doctor you prefer and you will be accommodated if an appointment is available.  If possible make an appointment well in advance to see your usual doctor.

Urgent appointments are always available the same day, but not always with the doctor of your choice.

A Nurse Practitioner runs a clinic in parallel with a doctor each day and patients will be offered the alternative of seeing a doctor or a nurse, whichever is deemed more appropriate.

Please keep your appointment or cancel it in good time as this allows efficient use of our services ensuring we are available for others to be seen.

Home Visits

The doctor can visit those too ill to attend surgery and those completely

housebound.

If you need a home visit it is very helpful to call before 11:00 am when possible, before the doctor starts his visits. Your usual doctor may not be able to attend.

Lack of transport should not necessitate a home visit.

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.
