  • your name
  • the patient's name

Home Visits

We carry out home visits if you are too ill to come to the Surgery. Please phone before 11am if possible.  The doctor may wish to telephone you to discuss your condition. Please come to the Surgery if it is at all possible, as the doctor can examine you much more thoroughly there, and remember one house call takes the same time as seeing five people in the Surgery.

separator
Telephone Advice
If you wish to speak to a doctor on the telephone, you will be asked to leave your name, details and contact number. The doctor will then return your call as soon as possible. Please remember that the doctor has a busy schedule.

Parking and Disabled Access
There is ample car parking available. There are two disabled parking spaces opposite the main door and a ramp for wheelchair access.
separator
Computerisation

The Practice is computerised and confidentiality is guaranteed by the Data Protection Act.

Computerisation allows us to keep your medical records up to date and allows for the automation of some repetitive tasks such as repeat prescriptions.

separator
Medical Students
We are an approved Teaching Practice. This means that we sometimes have medical students sitting in with us during our surgeries. They find the experience invaluable. However, if you would prefer to see the doctor alone please say to the receptionist or doctor in the surgery.
