Making an appointment
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we are operating a triage first service for all appointments.
Triage is a way of making sure patients get the quickest possible response to their healthcare needs. It also helps us to better manage the increasing demands for urgent appointments whilst ensuring that we keep our patients and staff safe by minimising COVID-19 infection risks through a reduction in the numbers of people coming to the surgery.
If your medical problem is urgent please contact the surgery, where possible, before 12 noon each day. A telephone triage appointment will be arranged with a GP who will call you back within the hour.
If your medical problem is a more general problem a telephone appointment will be arranged for a GP to contact you. Please advise the receptionist of any times or dates you are not available.
Home visits will be made if they are clinically necessary. Any requests for a home visit should be made before 10.30am.
The doctor may suggest a video consultation to help them diagnose your problem and determine the best course of action, however please be assured that a face to face appointment will be made if a physical examination is needed.
Please call 01969 622391. Our phone lines are very busy in the mornings so if your matter isn’t urgent please call in the afternoon.
It may be that our Advanced Nurse Practitioner, a Practice Nurse or a Healthcare Assistant can help you, which may allow you to be seen more quickly. See the Who should I see? table below for more information.
As an alternative to contacting us by phone, you may find it more convenient to submit an online consultation by selecting the option below.
