How to book an appointment

To book an appointment, please call us on 01462 654040.

Or by using the NHS App or SystmOnline Online Services

Appointments can be booked up to two weeks in advance.  If you have an urgent healthcare issue, we will endeavour to offer a same-day telephone call from a GP who will discuss with you the best way to assist you.

We work hard to make as many appointments available as we can. However, demand for appointments often outstrips supply.  Please try to assist us by considering other sources of advice and support, so that appointments are available for those who need them.  

 The reception team will ask what you appointment is for so that we can direct you to the appropriate member of the clinical team.  
CLINICS WE OFFER

Emergency Doctor 

We, like most GP practices, have an emergency doctor on call for problems that require immediate attention that day.

Our emergency doctor will only speak with the most urgent cases because they can only see a limited number of patients per day.

If you have a medical emergency and need to speak with an emergency doctor, call the practice between 08:00-12:00 or 13:30-17:30, Monday-Friday.

Our receptionists will discuss your issue with you and schedule you with the most appropriate person.

If our reception team adds your name to the emergency list, you will receive a call back the same day.

If you have a non-urgent query, our reception team will help signpost you to the right place.

The majority of emergency calls are resolved over the phone by our doctors, but sometimes we will ask you to visit the practice for an examination or a face-to-face discussion.

This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends and public holidays)

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the list.

So far this year we have on average had135 patients DNA appointments which equates to 34 hours of wasted clinical time.
