Practice Information - Appointments

All patients who need medical advice will be offered an appointment or telephone consultation on the same day if they ring before 11 am. Early morning or late afternoon appointments can be pre-booked up to 5 weeks in advance for those who have work commitments or need to arrange transport.

Appointments can be made by calling 01903 843401.

Cancelling Appointments

If you cannot attend your given appointment please call 01903 843401 to cancel or reschedule. On average 60 people a month fail to turn up for their appointments without informing us.

These slots could be put to good use and offered to another patient, allowing the doctors and nurses to reduce any backlog of patients and reduce waiting times. Please think of others when you can no longer attend or need a scheduled appointment.

Cancel or reschedule appointments on 01903 843401.

Home Visits

If possible patients should make their way to the Health Centre to see their GP or Health Professional. This is because for every home visits a GP or nurse makes they could see several patients in the surgery. In cases of severe illness, infirmity, or emergencies, the GP or nurse will visit the patient at home. If you have transport problems consider contacting Good Neighbours.

If you are too ill to attend surgery please telephone us before 10.00am if possible, as rounds have to be planned. Please give our staff some idea of your symptoms so we can judge the urgency of the call. Each doctor visits their own patients, but on occasion it may be necessary for one of the other doctors to visit you. The doctor may phone before visiting to assess the urgency of the visit.
