Our partnership
prides itself in providing a
traditional, friendly, but efficient
family doctor service from our
modern computerised surgery in
Coleford. Our small team of doctors,
nurses, health visitor, midwife and
administrative staff work closely
together; not only to help when you
are ill, but also to try to prevent
serious diseases from occurring.
We will accept patients living
anywhere in our practice area, as
shown on the map held in reception,
but essentially between the towns of
Frome, Midsomer Norton, Radstock and
Shepton Mallet.
We are a GMS practice
(General Medical Services) and our
PCT is
Somerset Primary Care Trust based in
Yeovil.

HOW TO
REGISTER AS A PATIENT |
To register with the
practice please ask for forms from
reception. You will be registered
(as per GMS2 contract April 2004)
with the practice, not a specific
GP. You can request your preferred
GP for consultations on a regular
basis, however please understand
that sometimes specific GPs may have
a slightly longer wait due to
holidays/training etc.
Once an appointment
is made you are responsible for
turning up promptly, if you cannot
attend please ring Reception to
cancel – it can then be offered to
someone else, even at short notice.
Our surgery has
been designed to provide easy access
for the disabled and the elderly. A
wheelchair is available at
reception. We also have a wheelchair
available for short-term loans for
patient use outside of the surgery
(just ask at reception). Disabled
ladies can be offered well woman
care and smears at home if they are
housebound. Hearing loops are
on reception and a portable hearing
loop can be taken into the
consulting rooms. |
