All surgeries and clinics are appointment only. To make a routine appointment please telephone our main number 01296 713434 during opening times.

If you cannot make your appointment for any reason please contact us and
cancel so that it can be offered to another patient.

In the event of an emergency e.g. chest pain, shortness of breath or collapse, your call will usually be put through immediately to the doctor. The doctor will decide whether it is appropriate to offer an urgent surgery appointment, visit you at home,  or to arrange for an ambulance. An ambulance is arranged where prompt treatment is essential e.g. suspected heart attack or unconsciousness.

For urgent problems outside of normal hours please ring the usual phone number - 01296 713434 and you will be given details of the Harmoni 'Out of Hours' Linkline Service. This Service can be contacted for out of hours support.

The 'on call' doctor can give telephone advice or will visit you at home. If your condition deteriorates before the doctor arrives please do not hesitate to call again.

You may also wish to consider contacting NHS Direct for immediate advice on whether a doctor is required or other action you need to take. The freephone number is 0800 45 46 47 or the NHS Direct website can be found here.

Please come to the surgery if you possibly can. We are able to see many more patients this way. If however you are too ill to attend, the doctor will visit you at home. Requests for visits should whenever possible be made before 10.00am.

You will be asked for details of your illness so that the doctor can assess the urgency and plan his visits accordingly. It does not do any harm to bring children with a temperature to the surgery, so please bring them if you can.

The doctors will normally be available between 3.30pm - 4.00pm to provide telephone advice for patients contacting the surgery. Telephone calls need to be booked in advance.
