Your appointment

We may then offer you a consultation:

  • Face to face at the surgery
  • On a video call
  • By text or email

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible. This often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner.

  • Use the NHS App to cancel or change an appointment

If you need help when we are closed

  • Use NHS 111 online (111.nhs.uk) or call 111. 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.
  • If it’s a life-threatening emergency call 999.

If you need help with your appointment

Please tell us:

  • If there’s a specific doctor, nurse or other health professional and we will endeavour to meet your request
  • If you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face, by video call or by text or email
  • If you need an interpreter
  • If you have any other access or communication needs.
  • Chaperones are also available - if you require a chaperone where possible please request when booking an appointment.

Home Visits

To request a home visit contact the surgery before 10.30am. Your request will be assessed to see whether appropriate.

Remember that we can see several patients at the practice in the time it takes for one home visit. Patients should have their appointment at the surgery if they can.

Lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
