Appointments

Routine Appointment

The easiest way to request an appointment is via Klinik, no login is needed.  Click on the link below for access.

To book an appointment with a Healthcare Assistant, Nurse, Physiotherapist, Mental Health Practitioner or Pharmacist you can:

  • call 01757 211750 (option 1)
  • book in person at reception

Continuity of care is really important to us and our patients. If you have an ongoing problem and would like routine follow up consultation with the same clinician (where possible) please advise of this when asked to provide further details of your symptoms

We try our hardest to manage routine/follow up consultation requests as quickly as possible. Whilst you are likely to hear back from us within a few days, your appointment might not be for 2 to 6 weeks and this may occasionally be extended due to high demand, staff absence or bank holidays. 

 

If you have worsening symptoms please contact us again on 01757 211750. We know it can sometimes feel like a long time to wait, but please rest assured we are doing everything we can to book everyone in for an appointment as quickly as possible.

Please consider using self-care or attending a community pharmacy to ask for advice if you have a minor ailment. The Pharmacy First scheme, launched early 2024, allows pharmacies to offer treatment for a range of conditions including: urine infections, tonsillitis, shingles and infected insect bites.

If your symptoms have resolved before your booked appointment, please contact us to let us know.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

Home visits

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11am.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP.
