All routine appointments with the doctor are scheduled for 10 minutes.

You will usually be offered an appointment for the day you telephone, although if you call after 5:30pm you may book an appointment for the following day.  There are a certain number of appointments which can be pre-booked up to 2 weeks in advance, please speak to the receptionist for advice.

Telephone Appointments

Should you feel that you do not need to visit the surgery but feel that a discussion over the phone with a doctor would suffice, please ask the receptionist for a telephone consultation.   The appointments are of 5 minutes duration.  Please ensure that you remain available for the doctor to call you back at the designated time.

Home Visits

Home Visits are provided for those too sick to travel, and for the permanently housebound. Please be aware that it is always better to be seen in the surgery as the doctor will have all the resources to deal with your consultation to hand, it also provides the doctor with more time to see patients as they are not spending time traveling.  If you are unable to travel to the surgery due to illness, please telephone the Surgery before 10 am with full details of your illness.   Please be aware that home visits do consume a lot of the doctor's time.  Please do not ask for a home visit if you are able to travel to the surgery.

Should you wish general medical advice you could call NHS Direct who are available 24 hours 0845 4647, or visit the NHS Direct Website.
