Appointments

Appointments with our doctors and nurses can be made in person, by phoning the surgery on 02476 322810 or online (for doctors appointments only).

Urgent appointments
Some appointments are kept for genuinely urgent problems which can not wait until the next available routine appointment. These appointments can be booked on the day, but are only 5 minutes long.  The doctor will only be able to deal with the initial urgent problem and may need to ask you to book a follow up appointment when more time can be devoted to your problem.

Routine doctors' appointments
These are 10 minutes long, and are for one person only.  If another family member also needs to see a doctor, please book a separate appointment.  If you have several problems you wish to discuss, there are several things you could do to help us.  Please tell the doctor at the start of the consultation and mention the most important problem first.  The doctor will try their best to deal with all your problems in the time available, but may need to ask you to come back another day.

If you are not able to attend for an appointment you have booked, please let us know as soon as possible, either by phoning the surgery on 02476 322810 or online by clicking here. Failing to let us know in advance wastes the doctor's or nurse's time and means we can not give the appointment to someone else. If you fail to attend more than one appointment we will write to you to highlight the problems caused by your non-attendance. Repeated non-attendance could result in you being asked to find a new doctor.

Late evening and Saturday mornings

If you find it difficult to get to appointments during the normal working day, we can now offer appointments on alternate Saturday mornings and certain evenings.  Please ask Reception for details.

Home Visits

Urgent Home Visits are for genuine emergencies only. Please phone the surgery on 02476 322810.

Non Urgent Home Visits are available for genuinely housebound patients who can not be brought to the surgery.

Please phone the surgery on 02476 322810 before 10.30am. Attendance at the surgery would be helpful if at all possible as it means the doctors have access to better facilities and it helps them see more patients and reduce waiting times.

Book your appointments online

This service is available for appointments with a doctor, but not with a nurse.  Before you can start booking GP appointments online you must first register your details for this service.  It is quick and easy to register. You will need to come in to the surgery for an application form and then you will be given the relevant details to enable you to set up an account and use the system. To maintain confidentiality, you must collect the form in person, and cannot collect forms for other family members.  Online booking is not available for under-16s.

Once registered you will be able to view any appointments you have already made, cancel them if necessary, or book a new appointment with the doctor.

When you book an appointment online you will receive confirmation which you can print off and bring with you when you attend the surgery. There is no need to reconfirm.

Practice Nurse Appointments

The practice nurses are fully trained and qualified to deal with many issues. Please book an appointment with one of our nurses if you require:

• routine blood pressure check 
• routine asthma check 
• routine diabetes check
• routine contraceptive review including pill check
• routine heart disease check
• routine HRT check 
• routine COPD check

Using the nurses for these checks opens up appointments for the doctors and reduces waiting times.

Telephone Advice

We also provide telephone appointments for people who wish to discuss issues with the doctor. These appointments can be very useful for a continuing problem but obviously are not practical where you may need to be examined, for example with a chest infection. Telephone appointments can be made by phoning the surgery on 02476 322810.
