How Do I...
Make An Appointment?
Ring the practice on 0844 477 3507 to book an appointment.
Urgent cases are always seen on the same day.
We currently offer "on the day" appointments and there are appointments available to book up to three weeks in advance. Some of the doctors have other commitments within the practice so it may not always be possible to arrange to pre-booked to see them.
We do however recognise that you may want to see a particular doctor. We will try to arrange this where possible. Drs Lawrence, Jones and Glover do however have other work commitments;this includes teaching,training and development of local health services along with the day to day medical managment of the practice. Whilst these duties help develop general practice for the future, please bear in mind that it may limit their availability at certain times.
Nurses based in our practice treat patients for a wide range of common conditions. Nurses' appointments can be booked up to four weeks in advance.
Let us know if more than one person in the family needs to be seen. We can give you a longer appointment if necessary.
You can book to have a telephone consultation with a doctor. If you leave your number the doctor will ring you back.
How Do I... Obtain A Home Visit?
We do ask our patients to come to the practice if at all possible. However, we can visit you at home if your medical condition means you cannot attend the practice. Please ring before 10.30am to
arrange a visit.
Home visits are undertaken when a patient’s medical condition prevents attendance at the surgery. Transport problems do not justify a visit. Please remember that more equipment and tests are available at the surgery. Doctors can often see three or four patients at the surgery in the time it takes to do a home visit. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to house calls. Your co-operation to assist us in this matter is appreciated.
