Appointments with a GP
Commencing on Monday 30th September, if you would like to make an appointment with a GP, get some advice or pass on a message, simply call us on our usual number. Our team at reception will work through a small number of questions with you before passing your information onto our on call GP at that time. Based on the information you have given and your past medical history, the GP will make an informed decision on the best course of action for you. A member of the team will contact you to take you through your GP approved plan.
Please note we are experiencing a high demand for 'same day' telephone appointments.
The receptionist will want to ask some questions regarding the reason you wish to speak to a GP so that this information can be provided to the GP who will be contacting you once an appointment has been made.
Please note that if you are experiencing severe chest pain, shortness of breath, or symptoms of a stroke you should telephone 999 immediately.
Home Visits
Home visits are solely for those patients who are too ill to attend the Surgery.
The receptionist will ask you for your telephone number and some information about your condition to help the doctor to prioritise their visits. Please use the service wisely.
Appointments with the Treatment Room
If you require a blood test, please ensure when booking that the test has already been requested by a GP in the practice.
Private clinic requests for tests
Private requests for tests will still require a consultation with a GP in the practice to authorise the tests to be done in the practice treatment room.
Hospital requests for tests
If the blood test has been requested by a hospital doctor, please ensure you bring with you hospital labels with you so that the result will go back to the hospital doctor who requested it.
Appointments with the Practice Pharmacists
We have Practice Pharmacists who are available every day for telephone consultations to deal with queries about medication and side effects.
