Appointments

If you feel that your problem is urgent, you should tell the receptionist and every effort will be made for you to be seen the same day or have a telephone appointment.

If the doctor needs to see you in person they will arrange this with you.

Ways to book

1. Telephone: 01202 488 486
2.  Request an urgent appointment online

Extended Access

We also have extended access available. See our Out of Hours information.

We offer the full range of appointments, as advised by the NHS.

Many problems can be dealt with more effectively and efficiently by phone or online, such as:

• Joint problems (we can refer you directly for assessment with a specialist physiotherapist working for local surgeries)
• Mental health issues (we have access to a Mental Health Practitioner, a Life Coach and Health and Social Prescriber)
• Skin problems (many dermatology problems are being dealt with remotely by the local hospitals and we can forward photos from patients for advice rather than waiting for an outpatient appointment).

Ways to book

1. Request an appointment online
2. Telephone: 01202 488 486

If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception between 8:30am and 11:30am. Late calls may result in a long delay in visiting.

Home visits are only for those who are infirm, bedridden or have a medical problem which prevents them from attending the surgery.

If you can get to the surgery this helps us and you, as we have better facilities here for examination and treatment.

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.
