Information about booking an appointment

All of our doctors will help you deal with acute and long-term health problems and illnesses. This may involve advice for self help, signposting to other services, a telephone appointment or a face to face appointment with a suitable clinician.

If you have a GP or clinician preference, please let reception know when calling for an appointment. This way, we hope to provide you with continuity of care at a time convenient for yourself. 

The AccurX website will guide you through a range of triage questions about your symptoms and determine the urgency of your request, you will be able to book urgent and routine appointments. 

Text Appointments (for hard of hearing patients)

We have a mobile phone number available for hard of hearing patients. This number can be used to request an appointment or repeat prescription. Please ask at reception for details.

We make every effort to keep appointment times but there may be occasions when they overrun.

Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

Home Visits

If you feel that a home visit is required please contact the surgery before 10.30am.

Wherever possible, patients are asked to attend the surgery to see a GP as there is access to a greater range of equipment, full background medical notes and also nursing staff to assist should this become necessary. It is also an efficient use of your GP, as home visits take doctors away from the surgery for a significant amount of time meaning they can see fewer patients in a day.

We understand that some patients are housebound for a number of reasons such as frailty and poor mobility in old age. Unfortunately, we cannot accept the lack of transport as a reason to consider people “housebound” that would normally come to surgery.

If you feel that a home visit is necessary, please contact the surgery before 10.30 m so that the doctor can triage the visits for the day. A GP, ANP or paramedic will visit when they have availability and this could be at any point in the day

After this time, any urgent requests will be passed to the duty doctor who will triage the urgency of the visit request.

  • It can sometimes help to have a partner or friend with you.
  • If you are seeing the doctor to discuss the result of an investigation or a recent hospital treatment, check with reception first that any important results or letters have been received.
