Services
We always try to ensure your consultation will start punctually, but please be patient if there is a delay as this may have been due to an emergency. The doctors and nurses at this surgery work to an appointment system. You can make an appointment by telephoning 01273 555401 or by calling into the practice during our opening hours.
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:00. You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice.
You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay). It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work.
You can now register to receive information by text message on your phone regarding appointments and health care. If practices are sending messages about recommended treatment for the management of a specific health issue, then this is defined as providing appropriate care for patients, not marketing purposes.
Please note we are keen to process prescriptions as quickly as possible but we also need to ensure that medications are issued safely and appropriately to our patients. Repeat prescription requests which are within the clinical review date will be processed and issued within 48hrs. Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
