The practice operates an appointment surgery in the morning and evening. Patients can attend in person or ring in between 9.00 am to 2pm and 3pm to 6:30pm when they will be given an appointment to see the doctor for next available routine appointment. Doctors are available on most mornings and evenings. You may consult with any of the doctors at the practice.
During booking, our receptionists may ask for a brief reason for the appointment - this is simply to allow clinicians to prioritise appointments based on urgency and to help you the best that we can. However, if you have a preferred Clinician you'd like to see/speak to please feel free to request and if available or appropriate, it will be offered.
Please be considerate; everybody cannot be seen every day. Please do not come every week; give a chance to other patients who may need to see the doctor more than you. Help us to provide a high quality service, which we strive for.
Appointments for the nurse for different clinics can be made by telephoning 01215 513804 or by calling at the surgery. Routine appointments may be made well in advance up to a maximum of two months, which will enable us to offer you an appointment at a time more suitable to your requirements.

Home Visits
Patients are requested to telephone the surgery before 10.00am if a visit is required on that day.
Emergency visits will only be arranged after that time. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to house calls. Please remember that several patients can be seen at the surgery in the time it takes to do on home visit and that clinical examination is best carried out at the surgery.
Please also note a home visit will be made if a doctor feels that you are not well enough to attend the surgery. The final decision rests with the doctor.
