HOUSE VISITS

In February we undertook 203 house visits. This is four times as many as other local practices of a similar size. House visits take a substantial amount of doctor time.

Appointments

Did you know that your local pharmacy can help you with a lot of minor ailments; and a lot of treatments are covered by the NHS Pharmacy First.

Patients needing medical advice should phone 01294 554591 any day between 8:30am -10:00am, Monday to Friday. If the demand is very high on any particular day, then the timing may be reduced to help cope with the high demand. You will be asked by our Reception Team to give a brief idea of what the problem is and then the appropriate clinician will call you back. For this new system to be successful we will not be able to offer pre-bookable doctors appointments.
