Appointments

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

For non-urgent issues, please follow the guidelines below and choose the right service. An appointment may not be necessary.

This will help us to be more efficient by making an appointment available to you when you need it the most.

 

Pharmacy and Self-Care

Many conditions can be treated without the need to see your GP. As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

  • coughs
  • colds
  • sore throats
  • tummy trouble
  • aches and pains

Use the NHS Find a Pharmacy to locate your nearest pharmacy

You can also find help and support from many National and Local Organisations by visiting our Self-Help Centre

Telephone Advice

Telephone consultations can be a good means of communication with a patient to supplement the traditional surgery consultation. They are often a much quicker method of dealing with basic issues and for the GP they represent the means by which a consultation may be quick and concise. Not all conditions or queries are suitable for telephone advice and these may be limited.

Home Visits

If you need a home visit please telephone the surgery between 8am to 10:30am if possible.

This will help the doctors and district nurses to plan their rounds and avoid unnecessary delays.

Only patients too frail to visit the surgery, the physically handicapped, or those confined to bed, shall be visited at home. Home visits can only be justified on medical not social, weather, transportation, or financial grounds. Misuse of the service inevitably results in delays to urgent cases.

 

Care Navigation

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with. We will use the information you give us to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional to help you, this is called "Care Navigation".

 

Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)

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. You can request a sick note online.

Change or Cancel an Appointment

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give us as much notice as possible so that your appointment can be offered to someone else. 

Please complete the online form to cancel your appointment

CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT

Cancellations notified less than 30 minutes before the appointment time will be recorded as failure to attend (DNA).

Repeated failure to attend booked appointments is a significant waste of NHS resources and may lead to your registration being removed from our list.

Evenings appointments are available from 6:30pm to 8pm which are run via our PCN.
