 TELEPHONE CALLS 

To speak with a GP please phone the surgery STRICTLY at 8.30am to book a telephone call. These are on the day phone calls but the list is not endless and once we have reached a safe working capacity you will be asked to phone back at the next call time.

We understand at times you may be frustated at not getting a call but please DO NOT verbally abuse our staff as they are doing their best in a stressful situation.

EMERGENCY calls ONLY will  be taken outside of these times.

GP Face to Face appointments are booked following a telephone triage call with the doctor .

There has been a sharp rise in the amount of verbal abuse from some patients to our staff. Whilst we appreciate at times your frustration PLEASE DO NOT VERBALLY OR OTHERWISE take your frustrations out on our staff who work extremely hard in an ever increasing and demanding service.

We operate a ZERO tolerance policy towards abuse and your patience is very much appreciated.

For Smears/Diabetic/Asthma reviews or bloods please contact reception to book an appointment with our Practice Nurse.

Due to an increased volume of phone calls and prescription requests please allow 48 hours for any repeat prescriptions to be issued and then please also allow extra time for these to go to your nominated Pharmacy 

Our Clinical staff and Doctors are continuing with clinics/surgeries but respectfully request that unless you are Medically Exempt please ensure you wear your mask at all times whilst in the Medical Centre and the number of patients permitted into the waiting room may continue to be limited. This enables the practice to provide some protection to all our patients and staff within our Healthcare setting at this time
