Your appointment

We offer face to face appointments which can be booked online, via NHS app or by telephone.

If your appointment is for test results or existing mental health review then you can call the surgery to book a telephone appointment.

Please be aware we DO NOT convert face to face appointments to telephone appointments. Some appointments maybe upstairs so if you have mobility issues then please let the surgery know in plenty of time.

Cancelling or changing an appointment

If you need to cancel your appointment, please call or go online at least 1 hour before the appointment:

Home visits

Please make every effort to come to the surgery so that we can more thoroughly assess your illness however we understand that some of our patients are housebound or are too unwell on the day to get to the surgery. Our reception staff have been instructed to ask for details of your illness so that we may assess the degree of urgency. You must contact us before 10am and a clinician will visit you if they feel that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgent a home visit is needed. You may even be visited at home by a community nurse or a Paramedic if the GP deems it appropriate.

Please remember that several patients can be seen at the surgery in the time that it takes to do a home visit.

If the visit is urgent or we are at safe capacity then you will need to call 111 who can triage your request.
