We are currently in the process of going back to a more traditional model where we offer more face to face appointments. These are bookable from 2 days in advance to 6 weeks in advance.
Urgent care
Urgent care on the day is managed by our advanced nurse practitioner, who will be supported by a duty doctor. These appointments are limited, so when the service is at capacity patients will be directed to other urgent care services, such as NHS 111.
Before phoning the surgery – pause, think and question:
- Is this really urgent for today.
- Can I go to the local pharmacy for treatment and advice.
- You can always call nhs111 for a medical emergency when you are unsure what to do.
- Visit 111.nhs.uk for urgent medical advice for people aged 5 and over
- Visit a sexual health clinic for testing for sexually transmitted infections and contraception advice.
We firmly believe these changes are a positive change and will allow us to continue to offer high quality clinical care.
