Home Visits

 

  • In a genuine medical emergency, please ring 999

 

  • Home visits are intended only for patients who are unable, because of their medical condition, to attend the practice .

 

  • Where possible a home visit should be requested before 10.00 am

 

  • We prefer patients to come to the surgery for assessment where we have better facilities and diagnostic equipment.

 

  • Lack of transport to the surgery is not an appropriate reason for requesting a home visit.

 

  • Patients are asked to bear in mind that the doctor can see and treat several patients in the practice, in the same time that it takes to carry out one home visit. Speed of treatment is improved by keeping home visits for patients who really need it.

Ordering repeat prescriptions – Important Information for patients.

 

The Practice has recently changed its clinical system and following this we have found that some patients are not able to access their full list of repeat prescriptions when ordering on-line. 

 

If you are unable to view and order your usual list of repeat prescriptions please send a message to the surgery by clicking on the ‘Send a message’ link and listing the prescription items you wish to order. 

 

Your request will then be dealt with in the usual way and your repeat prescription list updated so you will be able to access it the next time you log on.  Thank you.

 

 

receptionWe hope to use our surgery website as a way of presenting all our patients with an up to date resource for all information relating to our practice. We will keep it current with any news, developments & details that are relevant to the practice & our patients.

As well as a source of information about our Practice, the staff & the services we provide, we hope you use the website as a useful resource with links to other reliable websites for health related information. If there is topical health information we will also add this to the website.

Have a look around our website and please do send us some feedback. We can use your thoughts to improve our online services & further develop the website to make it a more useful, practical application for our patients.

Car Parking
There is limited parking available for patients whilst attending the surgery. Please do not leave your car in the car park after your appointment has finished, as other patients will need your parking space.

Access for the Disabled
The surgery has been built to allow access for the disabled through the front entrance. All consulting rooms and the waiting area are built on the one level and can accommodate a wheelchair
