Appointments

If you feel unwell, do you need to visit your GP Practice, or could you see your local Pharmacist?

Did you know your Pharmacist can treat many minor ailments. Click here for further information.

1. Pharmacist

2. How to access appointments at the surgery

The ONLINE appointment booking facility is available for  GP & NP Telephone (on the day), GP & NP Face to Face (on the day), Smears, Contraception and HRT Telephone Consultations and blood tests. 

• All emergencies will be seen – please select Option 1 (for EMERGENCIES only) when telephoning the surgery
• Appointments can be made either by telephone (select Option 2 when telephoning the surgery), or via the Online Consults form on our Home page
• If you wish to speak to a Receptionist in private, please ask and we can make a room available for you.

In an emergency it will be necessary to give a few brief details of your problem to the Receptionist. Please be aware that we may not have any free appointments with the GP of your choice, so you may have to see another Clinician within the practice.

Telephone consultation appointments

Telephone Consultation Appointments are also available to book with all the GPs and NPs .  As well as general concerns these appointments can be used to discuss results / sick notes / blood tests / medication.  Please be prepared to provide the Receptionist with your contact number and brief details of the problem.

Please be aware that 1 appointment is for 1 patient only

Please see our “Who Do I Need to See” section to book the most appropriate appointment

Where patients are seen via our prebooked appointment system, you will normally be seen within 15 minutes of the appointment time or be given an appropriate explanation for the delay. We are most grateful for your tolerance of delays and occasional problems.

All of us, Doctors, Nurses, Health Visitors, Midwives, etc. try very hard to keep to time. Remember that we can only finish the consultation once the problem has been identified and a management plan agreed and the time required to do this is different for every patient.

Think of yourself in the circumstances of your fellow patients before you. Most people who have a serious problem like to have as much time as possible with their Clinician. Your Clinician will always endeavour to use the same time in the most efficient manner compatible with our best standards of care.

Home visits

Should a home visit be necessary, please request this if possible before 10.30am to enable the doctors to efficiently plan their visiting circuits. When you phone, be prepared to describe your problems to the Receptionist; this will help the Doctor to decide whether the best possible care can be provided by a home visit. Please remember that it takes much longer to see you at home. Your doctors can see several people at the surgery in the time it takes to drive to a patient’s home. Nevertheless, we will strive to provide an efficient visiting service if this is appropriate for your care.

Lateness and cancellations

If you have a prebooked appointment it is helpful to tell the surgery if you cannot avoid being late. If you are unable to keep an appointment or one is no longer necessary, do try to let us know however late in the day, as we may be able to fit in someone else at short notice.
