All consultations are by appointment and may be made either in person or by telephone.
If you feel you require an urgent/same day appointment you may be asked to give a brief outline of your problem to the nurse in order that she may offer an appointment with the appropriate Health Care Professional.
Occasionally if there are no free appointments at your chosen surgery, an appointment may be found for you at one of our other surgeries.
We do not normally make appointments more than 2 weeks in advance.
When booking appointments, it is worth remembering that our Practice Nurses are able to treat: sore throats, earache, sinusitis, cystitis, as well as offering advice on contraception, HRT, vaginal discharge and blood pressure monitoring.
Weekday Surgeries
All surgeries hold morning and afternoon consultations every day.
Home Visits
If your condition/illness prevents you from attending for a consultation at the surgery you may request a home visit. As with urgent/same day appointments, please be prepared to give a brief summary of your problem so that the best possible service may be offered to you. Please request home visits BEFORE 10am.
Please remember that home visits are only for severely ill or housebound patients.
