Online appointment booking

We offer online booking of appointments for patients who register to use the service.

If you would like to use this service then please, complete our register for online services form.

  • A patient can only have 2 appointments booked at any one time
  • Appointments with the nurses are for blood tests or blood pressure checks only
  • The internet does not display all appointments, so if there is not a convenient date or time please contact the surgery

Telephone consultations

The practice has allotted a specific time in each doctor’s morning and evening surgery for telephone consultations. These can be booked in advance with the receptionist and the doctor will ring you back at the agreed time.

Practice nurses

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many ailments and you may be seen more quickly.

Home visits

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30am.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
