How Do I...
Make An Appointment?
Appointments may be made by telephoning the surgery during our opening hours. Routine appointments may be made well in advance (maximum six weeks), which will enable us to offer you an appointment at a time more suitable to your requirements. If you cannot keep an appointment, please inform us as soon as possible as this will assist in over-subscribed situations.
How Do I...
Obtain A Home Visit?
Patients are requested to telephone before 10.30am if a visit is required that day. Emergency visits only will be arranged after that time. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to house calls. Please remember that several patients can be seen at the surgery in the time it takes to do a home visit.
How Do I...
Obtain Test Results?
Test results and letters from local hospitals have to be checked by the doctor. Some tests take longer than others. Your doctor should be able to give you an idea of how long you are likely to wait. Do not book a follow up appointment with the doctor until you have confirmed that the results are on your records. The practice will contact you if the results are abnormal and require you to discuss the matter with a doctor/nurse.
