Services
It may save you time! When you call for a doctors appointment you may be informed that a doctor will call you back, normally within an hour to agree an appointment time. Alternatively the doctor may be able to deal with your problem over the phone saving you a journey to the practice. We do not operate a walk-in service you need to book an appointment or telephone appointment to see/speak to a doctor.
You may consult any doctor you choose but we recommend that you try to see the same doctor whenever possible, for continuity of your care. Routine appointments are usually available with a doctor of choice if you book a week or so ahead. If your request is at shorter notice, it may be necessary for you to see whoever is available.
When you call for a doctors appointment you may be informed that a doctor will call you back within an hour to agree an appointment time. Alternatively the doctor may be able to deal with your problem over the phone saving you a journey to the practice. Every morning we make extra appointments for problems which patients feel medically can't wait.
If you wish to speak with a doctor or nurse on the phone, please speak to a receptionist who will arrange a telephone appointment for you. If your call is of an urgent medical nature the duty doctor will phone you back the same day. Please only leave a mobile number if there is no 'land-line' available as mobile phones can be unpredictable because of poor reception in some locations within the practice area.
A doctor will phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to see another health care professional or arrange a hospital attendance. House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
