General Advice
If you need general advice an appointment may not always be necessary. Please telephone to speak to either our Practice Nurse or GP.
If you have a question for your doctor which requires an answer please do not write in. Make a routine appointment for either a telephone call or a face to face consultation.
It will take your doctor longer to respond by post.
Home Visits
These are available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability, and should be made between 8.00am and 10.30am to allow sufficient time for the doctors to travel after the morning clinic.
The doctor may telephone for more information and may request that you attend the surgery if that is deemed more appropriate. Lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
Emergency visits will be dealt with at any time.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the surgery.
Certificates (Ongoing sick certificates etc)
For the first 7 days of absence you can self-certificate, please see 'Appointments tab' for further details. After the first 7 days you will need to take advice from your doctor.
Health Forms
If you require a health form, insurance certificate or medical form completing by your doctor please leave them with the Receptionist.
There will be a charge for these services as they are not covered by the NHS.
Colds/Flu
Speak to your local pharmacist who will be able to advise you.
Dental Problems
Please make an appointment with your dentist, or telephone 0300 1234412 for Emergency NHS dentist advice.
