Our doctors typically see four patients in the practice in the time it takes to do a single home visit. For this reason, we ask patients to come to the practice whenever at all possible. However, if your condition prevents you from attending an appointment at the surgery, please ring before 10am to arrange a visit and tell us if your condition is urgent.
If you need urgently a doctor out of surgery hours, please phone 02380 404 671. The answering machine will give you the emergency number to ring. Please do not abuse the system by calling with non-urgent conditions.
Self Help
If you are, for whatever reason, unable to come to the surgery and are experiencing relatively mild symptoms, the NHS Direct Self Help service may be of some use. If you have internet access, it can found at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk then click on Self-Help Guide on the left. Otherwise, you can phone 0845 4647
