In a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.
Whilst we encourage our patients to use Engage Consult, you can still make appointment request either over the phone or in person at the front desk. An appointment will be offered to you within the most appropriate timeframe for your symptoms, and within two weeks of your request.
We provide 3 evening surgery sessions with our Pharmacist Chris Tsoto who will undertake medication reviews and queries between the hours of 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.
Patients are requested, where possible, to telephone before 11am if a home visit is required that day.
We would request that, apart from the genuinely housebound, all other patients attend the surgery rather than request a home visit because of the extra time home visiting takes. On average four to five patients can be seen in surgery in the time it takes to do a single house call. In addition, the care that can be offered due to the lack of adequate lighting, examination facilities and equipment means that you may not receive as good a service as the doctor may be able to offer if you came to the surgery.
Please note that the doctor may telephone you rather than visit you if this is medically appropriate. Ultimately it is the doctors right to decide whether or not a visit is appropriate for a particular set of circumstances.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment in order that we can give the slot to someone else.
You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.
