Appointments & Home Visits

We offer appointments as follows:

• Routine advance appointments
• On the day appointments – please call at 8am

Reception staff may gather brief details from you in order to:

• direct patients to see the most appropriate healthcare professional
• ensure you are dealt with as efficiently as possible
• help our clinicians to prioritise those in need of urgent care

Home Visits 

Home visits are triaged by the Doctors. If you feel that you are unable to attend the surgery please telephone the surgery so that a doctor is alerted to your needs. In the time it takes to do one visit we can see four patients in surgery where there are better facilities. We therefore ask that you only request home visits when it’s absolutely necessary.

More information regarding the services and appointments we offer can be found at Clinics and Services

When we are Closed

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

When to use it

You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it’s not a life-threatening situation.

Call 111 if:

• you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency
• you think you need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service
• you don’t know who to call or you don’t have a GP to call
• you need health information or reassurance about what to do next

For less urgent health needs, contact your local GP or local pharmacist in the usual way.

If a health professional has given you a specific phone number to call when you are concerned about your condition, continue to use that number.

For immediate, life-threatening emergencies, continue to call 999.

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
