To provide you with the best possible care we ask that for routine medical issues you ring between 8.15am and 11.00am.
The surgery uses an appointment system that will allow you to speak with a doctor on the day that you call.
The patient services team will ask for your name, date of birth and contact number. If you need to speak to the doctor urgently please tell patient services straight away.
Patient services will ask generally what your health issue is. You do not have to tell them if you do not wish but it will help the doctor to prioritise your call back. Wherever possible you will be called by your usual doctor but, on occasions, this may not be possible.
