Your appointment

All sessions are arranged by appointment.

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • 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 and often means you get help sooner.

Telephone consultations

It is possible to book a telephone consultation with your doctor or nurse, arranging a convenient time to ring them. This allows the patient to discuss a problem or results which may not need a face to face consultation and thereby saving the patient having to take time off work.

Home visits

Please do not ask the doctor to call unless the patient is genuinely too ill to come to the surgery.

Remember the doctor can see four to five patients in surgery during the time it takes to do one home visit, and it is at the doctor’s discretion as to whether a home visit is necessary.

Please give the receptionist brief details of your illness so the doctor can assess the order of priority of visits.

If possible try to ring before 10am if you need a visit.

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.
