Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we now offer initial routine appointments over the phone where applicable unless the appointment requires a face-to-face consultation immediately. When arranging an over-the-phone appointment, you will be added to the call-back list for that day and a clinician will contact you at the allotted time. Please note - there are only so many slots available on the call-back list so best practice is to call in to reception as close to the opening times as possible. 

If the call-back list is full you will be asked to call back again tomorrow to try again. However, if you feel your situation is urgent you can be put on an urgent call-back list reserved for time-sensitive issues. 

After an over-the-phone appointment, if more consultations are needed, the GP will discuss arranging another call-back or a face-to-face appointment should it be necessary. 

If you need to see a doctor but feel unable to get to the surgery, please telephone to request a visit, preferably before 11.00am.  You may be put through to a doctor to discuss your problem and to arrange a visit if necessary.

Alternatively, you may be asked to leave your name and telephone number so that the doctor can call you back shortly.

If you feel there is an emergency -i.e. a chest pain, shortness of breath, or possible stroke etc then it is always best to dial 999 so the affected person can be seen to and treated with the urgency required.
