Opening Hours 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday
Appointments with GPs - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have had to change how we work in order to minimise footfall at the surgery and keep everyone as safe as possible. If you need to speak to a GP please ring or call 08.30am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm Monday to Friday. Between 1pm and 2pm the GP on call will be available on 07564 906 133.
The reception team will ask you for a few details and an appointment will be made for a GP to call you back on the day you ring. We have limited appointment slots so please ring as early as possible. If the GP thinks you need to be seen face to face they will organise to bring you down to the surgery that day. You will be asked to wear a mask and sanitise your hands on arrival.
Home visits – we would ask you to request home visits as early in the day as possible. The doctor will ring prior to the visit. Reception staff cannot pre-book home visits although the doctor may arrange this with the patient or the family involved.
Appointments with Practice Nurses or Phlebotomist - You can book an appointment if you need blood taken and or for minor illnesses and treatment room procedures e.g. dressings, stitch removal, smears, ear syringing, dressings, ECG's and urine sample testing. The nursing team also provide smoking cessation support, NHS travel vaccinations, asthma and diabetes monitoring.
We will try to answer the phone promptly and to ensure that there is sufficient staff available to do this. The phone lines can be extremely busy at particular times of the day so please bear with us. We will do our very best to answer your call as quickly as possible.
If you give a contact number please keep it switched on so the doctor can reach you. Be aware that the practice telephone is a withheld business number.
The practice door is now open from 8.30am to 1.00pm and from 2.00pm to 6.00pm. Please wear a mask on entering the practice and remember to socially distance from others in the waiting area.
