Consultations

Appointments may be made in person or by telephone (01743 231817) during opening hours.
A standard appointment is twelve minutes (NB: Only one person per 12-minute appointment). If you have several problems to discuss or you feel that you require longer, please ask the receptionist for a double appointment.
If the doctor of your choice is not available, we ask that you see one of the other doctors.
An appointment with a doctor is always available within 48 hours, though this may not be with the doctor of your choice. We have appointments for urgent matters every day; please tell the receptionist if you need to see a doctor urgently.

There is a great demand for appointments so if you find that you are unable to attend, or that you are feeling better, please let us know so that your cancelled appointment can be given to someone else.

Home visits are available to the housebound and to those too ill to come to the Surgery.
If a visit is required on the same day, please try to contact the Surgery before 10.30 a.m.
A doctor will usually ring you prior to visiting.
Visiting is time-consuming. It is therefore helpful if you can attend the Surgery if at all possible. For example, if you have a sick child but fear waiting in the Surgery, please explain the situation to the Receptionist.

The doctors are available to give advice over the telephone.
Appointments for telephone consultations can be made through Reception at your request.
