TELEPHONE APPOINTMENTS

Telephone appointments can be booked in much the same way as
traditional appointments.

If you feel your problem can be managed via a telephone conversation
(e.g. Test results, or medication queries) please ask the Receptionist to book a telephone consultation. The Doctor will then phone you at the pre-arranged time. 

EMERGENCIES from 8 am to 6 pm

In an Emergency telephone the Surgery. The Receptionist will contact the Doctor On-Call.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

Test Results

To obtain results of tests or Hospital Reports please telephone after 4pm on 893321

Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.

When you take your test you will be told how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice.

It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if your are advised to do so.
