Home Visits

If you are too ill to attend the surgery and require a home visit please contact the surgery as soon as possible after 08:00 and before 11:00 giving details of the nature of the problem. This will enable the doctors to assess the urgency of the problem.

The doctors will only visit you at home if your condition makes you unfit to travel to the surgery. Please make every effort to attend. It is the doctor’s decision as to whether a home visit is necessary.

For any requests after 12:00 a GP will contact you to discuss your condition and may send an Out-of-hours doctor to review your symptoms.

GP Additional Access Services

Would you like an appointment with a GP, Nurse, or Health Care Practitioner in the evening or at the weekend when we are closed?

If so, you can book your appointment now by contacting us.

Access Services are an extension of our usual service, it is not a walk-in service, and you will need to make an appointment through the practice reception. The service gives you more flexibility in where, when and how you use local health services. It helps those who struggle to get to the doctors during the week because of work and family commitments.

Please note that whilst you may not get to see your own doctor during these hours, and it may not be at your own practice location, the GP or Nurse you see will have access to your medical record, subject to your consent.

APPOINTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE:

Monday to Friday - Daytime & Evenings
Saturday and Sunday - Daytime
Bank Holidays – Daytime

APPOINTMENT TYPES:

Face to Face – You will see a clinician in person and be required to go to the service location

Telephone Consultation – You will be called by one of our clinicians during your appointment time. This will be from a withheld number and you will not be required to go to the service location unless offered at the time

Text Reminder Service

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.

Cancelling or Changing an Appointment

Please call us as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment in order that we can give the slot to someone else.

You can also cancel your appointment via Patient Access or the NHS App.
