Routine Appointments

There are a wide range of appointments available from 8.30 am to 6.00pm. If you contact the reception they will help you access the most appropriate one for you.

Urgent Appointments

If you have a problem which you feel should be dealt with on the same day, please tell the receptionist. You will then be passed through to the GP or practice nurse who will ask for brief details as to why you think your condition requires an urgent appointment. They will arrange to see you if it is appropriate that day.

Telephone Advice

Sometimes you may want advice on a health problem or medication and simply wish to talk to a doctor. During the day the GP or practice nurse will be available for telephone advice. Please be prepared to leave a telephone number so the GP or practice nurse can ring you back at a convenient time.

If you cannot keep your appointment or no longer require it please let us know – someone else may need it.

 

Home Visits

GP Training

Sickness Certificates

Home visits are made at the discretion of the Clinician.

If you request a home visit you will be passed to the Clinician who will ask for details as to why your condition requires a visit. They may decide it is more appropriate for you to be seen at the surgery. As you will appreciate, a visit to a patients home takes the doctor some time. We hope, in discussion with the patient or carer, to agree the most appropriate time and place for the patient to be seen.

If the patient has a temperature or rash, coming to the surgery will usually do no harm or endanger others, but please inform the receptionist on arrival if either or both of these conditions is present.

From time to time medical students may visit the practice and sit in with the doctors during consultations. This provides an invaluable aspect of their undergraduate training.

You will be informed that students are present before your consultation and if you are unhappy with this arrangement please make the reception staff aware of your feelings so that you can see the doctor in private.

The practice is also involved in the training of nurse prescribers and community matrons to help expand the role of nurses in the community.

If you feel you do not need to see the doctor it is not necessary for the doctor to issue a certificate for the first week of your illness.

Self-certification forms may be obtained from your employer. If you are ill for more than 6 days you will need to see the doctor for a certificate.

If you require a sick note from your doctor for insurance purposes please ask your doctor for a private one for which a fee is payable.
