We aim to respond by the end of the next working day.

If the matter you wish to discuss requires more privacy than is available at the reception desk, we advise to contact us over the phone. If you would prefer to discuss it in person, please let a member of staff know, who will try to accommodate you.

Physical Examination & Chaperoning

If you would like someone with you during a physical examination, please let the doctor know so that he/she can arrange for a nurse, trained chaperone or health care assistant to be present.

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.

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.

To cancel your appointment:

• phone us on 01797 362106, Monday to Friday from 8am
• reply CANCEL to your appointment reminder text message

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11am.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Somebody will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable us to schedule a home visit.

We are not able to visit patients at home on the grounds of social or travel problems.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
