HOW DO I
GET AN APPOINTMENT? |
GP and Practice
Nurse surgeries are by appointment,
and can be made in person or by
telephone. You can see us every
morning between 9.00 and 12.00am and
each evening between 2.00 and 6.00pm
(times vary daily according to GP or
Nurse).
We always see patients the same
day if necessary.
Calls requesting a same day
appointment will be triaged first by
our Nurse Practitioner – she may be
able to give you immediate help and
advice over the telephone before
seeing a Doctor.
Friday evening surgery is held by
one doctor only and is reserved for
same day cases only.
Our practice
nurses offer morning and evening
appointments daily in the treatment
room for dressings, ear syringing,
injections, blood tests, removal of
stitches, blood pressure checks etc.
When booking an appointment with the
nurse, if possible, please give the
reason for your visit – nurses
specialise in different areas and
the length of the appointment may
differ to make sure adequate time is
allowed.
Our Health Care Assistants
are qualified to take bloods, they
cannot give advice and have limited
time for each blood appointment. If
you have further health questions
please do not hesitate to discuss
them with a Practice Nurse or GP –
they will be more than happy to
help.
The doctors also
have bookable telephone appointments
from 11.30am -11.50am whereby the GP
will ring you. Please give the
correct telephone number for the
doctor to ring you at that time.
To book one of these slots please
contact reception. The Doctor will
ring you as near to the appointment
time as possible.
For results of blood tests or other
investigations please ring after
11.00am.
Please note, if your telephone
number does not receive with-held
numbers we will not be able to
contact you by telephone.
Doctors and nurses can take
telephone calls throughout the day
when not seeing patients – our
receptionists can advise you at the
time you ring in.
You are now able to book and cancel
your appointment with the doctor
