Urgent Appointments
These are on the day appointments to be used for problems like suspected UTI’s/Chest Infections.
Please phone early in the day if you genuinely require one of these appointments.
We have a limited number of these appointments and once these have gone you will be triaged to 111 or another provider.
Cancelling your appointment
It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the list.
You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance. (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.

Home Visits
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery where we have the proper facilities and equipment we do appreciate this is not always possible. If you are needing a home visit we ask if you can contact the surgery as soon as possible. Home visits are offered to housebound patients and where you are too ill to visit the surgery – a GP will contact you first do discuss your medical problem and your home visit request.
