Routine appointments
To request a routine appointment you can:

We operate a total triage system, this means every patient contacting the practice is first triaged before making an appointment. We will be asking you any information you can give us regarding your issue and this will enable us to direct your query to the most appropriate person who can help you as quickly as possible. You will receive a call regarding your request within 3 working days of submitting it.

Cancelling your appointment
If you cannot keep your appointment please let us know as soon as possible. Every week, appointments are wasted when patients fail to attend, and this uses up NHS resources. If you let us know in advance, someone else can be given your appointment time.
- cancel an appointment 24 hrs a day by telephoning 01253 204672 and choosing option 1 to leave a message. We recommend you add the Surgery’s number into your mobile phone contacts.
- Visit the surgery and speak to a receptionist Monday to Friday
- Alternatively, cancel using our online form using the link below
If you cancel 1 hour or less than 1 hour before your appointment this will be a non attendance. We are unable to fill appointments in that time frame and the appointment will be wasted

Home visits
Whilst we encourage our patients to come into the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we understand that this is not always possible. Therefore, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling the practice before 11:30am.
You may only request a home visit if you are a housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP 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 the doctor to assess the urgency of your visit. If you are suffering with chest pains, breathing problems or severe abdominal pain, please make sure that you communicate it to us.
You may 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.
Please note, all incoming and outgoing calls are recorded
