Appointments

We currently offer a combination of pre-bookable, face-to-face appointments as well as telephone and same day emergency appointments, with our GP’s and Nurse Practitioners.

You will be asked by your receptionist to provide a brief description of your symptoms. This is instruction from the partners to enable appropriate direction of your call and our receptionists are trained to triage calls and are bound by strict confidentiality codes of practice.

Home Visits

Patients are requested, where possible, to telephone before 11am if a home visit is required that day.

We would request that, apart from the genuinely housebound, all other patients attend the surgery rather than request a home visit because of the extra time home visiting takes. On average four to five patients can be seen in surgery in the time it takes to do a single house call. In addition, the care that can be offered due to the lack of adequate lighting, examination facilities and equipment means that you may not receive as good a service as the doctor may be able to offer if you came to the surgery.

Please note that the doctor may telephone you rather than visit you if this is medically appropriate. Ultimately it is the doctors right to decide whether or not a visit is appropriate for a particular set of circumstances.

If you need help with your appointment

Please tell us:

  • If there’s a specific doctor, nurse or other health professional you would prefer to respond
  • If you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face, by video call or by text
  • If you need an interpreter
  • If you have any other access or communication needs
