At the Reception Desk

Our receptionist will usually ask you for some basic details; this helps to direct you to the most appropriate clinician. This allows them to assist you as speedily as possible and to ensure you see the most appropriate health professional for your problem.

We run a morning and afternoon aucte surgery each day. This is reserved for patients with an urgent matter that requires same day attention and it's not for routine problems.

We are not an emergency service. When in an emergency situation and the person is:

•    Not breathing

•    Breathing difficulties AND very pale, blue or clammy
•    Profuse bleeding
•    Unconscious and unrousable
•    Becoming rapidly more drowsy without explanation
•    Unexplained continuous pain across chest + pale or clammy

RING 999 IMMEDIATELY FOR EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICE.  Do not wait to get through to the GP Surgery.

Please do not request urgent appointments for routine problems; these are needed for those with urgent problems

We appreciate that you may be housebound by illness, too frail or terminally ill to get to the surgery and under such circumstances we will always be happy to visit you at home.
