Patient Online Triage

https://accurx.nhs.uk/patient-initiated/C86020

Please use the above link to access our online triage. You can request appointments, prescriptions and even fit notes on this helpful online form.

Please help us to help you by understanding why we need to do this. Each appointment is for one person; if more than one person in your family needs a consultation please make a separate appointment. 

Occasionally the practice may be used for the training of medical students and nurses. Patients will always be notified if a student is due to be present at a consultation and can request them to leave.

Home Visits

Requests for home visits should be made before 10:30 am.  Before visiting, the Doctor will telephone to discuss the problem.  The receptionist should be informed if you are ringing on behalf of someone else and in all cases we should be given a contact telephone number.

Home visits are generally for the terminally ill or bed bound.  If patients are too ill to attend the surgery, please phone to request a home visit between 8:00 am and 10:30 am.  For emergency home visits outside these times, patients will have to be seen by the Duty Doctor.  Please note for every home visit four surgery consultations can be carried out and the surgery is better equipped to investigate and treat many such emergencies.  The Doctor will aim to visit within four hours from the end of surgery. 

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

Private Medical Examination

HGV/PSV, insurance medicals, fitness to drive examinations, employment medicals, etc., are carried out by the Doctors.  These can be arranged by speaking to our reception team. A fee will be levied for these services, we will ask for a deposit on booking your appointment.

If you cannot keep your appointment please let us know as soon as possible to enable us to allocate that time to another patient.
