HOW
DO I...
MAKE
APPOINTMENTS?
Would patients please note
that the surgery is run on a booked appointment system, with a duty
doctor available to see urgent cases. We do not operate open surgeries.
All patients attending the
surgery without a booked appointment will be classed as an urgent medical
emergency and will only be seen by the duty doctor.
Patients will not be seen
by the doctor of their choice, unless specifically requested by the
doctor. If you need to see a specific doctor, an appointment should
be made well in advance.
Appointments can be made
by either calling at the reception desk or by telephoning 251304.
May we remind you again that
missed appointments are very frustrating for both the doctor and for
other patients who may have had difficulty getting an appointment which
you are not using. Thank you for your consideration.
HOW
DO I...
OBTAIN
HOME VISITS?
Home visits are at the absolute
discretion of the doctors. House calls must only be requested if the
patient is too ill or too infirm to attend surgery and for no other
reason. If the patient has a rash or temperature, coming to the surgery
will do no harm nor endanger others but please inform the receptionist
of any rashes on arrival. When a home visit is required, please try
to request the visit before 10.00am, except in an emergency.
The receptionists are told
to ask for as much information as possible by the doctors so that requests
can be given the necessary priority.
