GP / Nurse Practitioner Appointments
GP / Nurse Practitioner Appointments can be booked online, By Telephone or at Reception. Booking online is easy – no queuing on the telephone. Ask at reception for details on how to register for this service.
Practice Nurse and Health Care assistant appointments
Practice Nurse and Health Care assistant appointments are not available to book online. These appointments are more complex with some appointment slots needing longer than others. These appointments need to be arranged with Reception either by telephone or at reception to ensure you are allocated the correct appointment with the appropriate clinician.
The practice has a policy for any patient to see a GP of their choice. This assists in continuity of care to patients. You can book an appointment as far in advance as you like. However, we keep these to a minimum as it tends to lead to increased non-attendance. Appointments are always in demand, please be punctual and let us know if you cannot attend in good time so the appointment slot can be offered to someone else. We operate a 24/48 hour appointment system in the main. Most appointments are made on the day and extra appointments added as and when demand dictates. Once the practice has reached its maximum capacity it may be necessary to direct patients to other services where additional appointments are available.
Patients have the choice to choose a face to face appointments or telephone appointment, however some medical conditions would warrant a face to face consultation only and a patient would be advised of this.
Home visits
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Clinicians that attend home visits at this surgery are the GP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner and our Paramedic.
You cannot insist that a Clinician visits you at home. A GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it. A GP can also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
Whenever possible, please help us by coming to the surgery rather than requesting a visit. You will usually be seen sooner and the facilities available at surgery make diagnosis and treatment simpler. Most patients now have easy access to transport, either their own or through family and friends, and there are few conditions which would be worsened by a short car journey. If you are too ill or unable to come to surgery, then please telephone your request for a visit before 10.00am. Should a situation arise later in the day that may require a visit the same day, please contact the surgery as soon as possible so that the doctor on call can be alerted and deal with the situation as appropriate.
When requesting a visit, you will be asked by the receptionist to give brief details of the problem. This is to allow prioritisation and assessment of the urgency of the visit.
