Making an appointment with the doctor
Appointments may be made in person or by telephone (01743) 231817 during opening hours.
Unless your doctor is on holiday, or unless the matter is urgent and your doctor is unavailable, we ask that you see your usual doctor. If you wish to speak to the Receptionist in confidence, please ask.
An appointment with a doctor is always available within 48 hrs, although 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.
Patients who have not been seen at the practice for 3 years, and are between the ages of 16 and 75, may request a consultation during surgery hours. Where a consultation is provided under this arrangement, appropriate enquiries will be made and examinations carried out as appear appropriate in the circumstances.
Patients aged 75 years and over who have not been see at the practice for 12 months may also request a consultation during surgery hours as above. Where it is considered inappropriate for the patient to attend the practice owing to their medical condition, this consultation will take place in the patient’s home.
When arriving for your appointment please check-in using our electronic screen.
Please make every effort to attend your appointment, although if you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as you are able so we can give this slot to somebody else.
