Appointments

From 31st March 2025, all requests for appointments are triaged by the on-call GP who will review the request and assign an appointment with the most appropriate clinician in the most appropriate time frame, based on the severity of symptoms.

It may be that your health problem does not need to be seen by a GP, in which case you may be allocated an appointment with one of our wide range of Allied Health professionals, or signposted to a more appropriate service, such as a Dentist, an Optician or a Pharmacy.

Patients with access to the internet are encouraged to submit a request for an appointment via the PATCHs online form. Our telephone lines and main reception desk remain accessible to any patients who struggle with using technology or do not have access to the internet. 

How to request

• Use our online PATCHs form
• Telephone: 01253 229520 and our reception team will complete a PATCHs online form on your behalf.

If you need a home visit, you can help us by completing a PATCHs online form or calling our reception team before 10:30am.

From 31st March 2025, all requests for home visits are triaged by the on-call GP and arranged based on clinical need and availability.

A doctor may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Surgery.

If you wish to simply speak to the doctor over the phone, please contact reception and explain the nature of the call. Reception staff will then arrange a suitable time for you to speak to the doctor.
