Our appointment system allows a number of pre-booked appointments with the doctors, but also allows appointments to be given on a same day basis. A doctor or nurse will ensure you receive the appropriate care and will also assess your request

Although we endeavour to allocate the doctor of your choice, this is not always possible due to the number of appointments we have available.

Your appointment

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

Home visits

If you are housebound or too unwell to get to the surgery, we will assist in organising a home visit.

The clinician will call you first to find out what help you need. Please be prepared to give a brief description of the problem. Although you have requested a visit, one of the doctors may phone you to see if telephone advice is appropriate.

If you are expecting a visit, please ensure your house name or number is clearly visible and that you have ensured access is possible.

Should you improve and feel able to attend surgery following your visit request, please contact us to request an appointment at the surgery instead.
