Options available to book an appointment outside normal surgery hours
Please note that the telephone is always busy in the morning – so if possible contact us in the afternoon.
Continuity of care is a very important part of general practice so you will normally see the same GP at each visit. However, this may not always be possible, due to availability of appointments, which is why you can see anyone in the practice. All clinicians have access to your clinical notes via the computer, but we do try to facilitate you seeing the doctor of your choice whenever possible.
Most of our appointments are routine and they can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance. The more notice you give, the more likely you are to get the time and date of your choice. A routine appointment is for one person and lasts for 10 minutes. Please ask for a longer appointment if the problem is complex or multiple. A few appointments are allocated for more pressing medical problems and can be booked up to 3 days in advance.
We also have appointments available each day for urgent medical problems, which cannot wait. Please note these appointments cannot be booked in advance. If you request to see a doctor urgently, you may be asked for some information about your problem. If you do not wish to give any information then please inform the receptionist, however the extra information will help the receptionists to make the most appropriate appointment with either a doctor or nurse.
You can book to have a telephone consultation with a doctor if you wish. Each GP will take a number of telephone calls at the end of their morning surgery. Please ring and arrange a telephone consultation if you think this is appropriate.
Increasingly our patients are finding WebGP an effective way to consult online.
Last month a number of patients failed to attend their appointments with either a GP or a nurse. If you cannot attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can then make it available for another patient. Patients who do not attend 3 or more appointments in any 6 month period will be contacted and the Practice will consider removing them from the Surgery list.
