Appointments

Seeing a doctor or nurse: the standards we aim for:

• Urgent problems – A Health Professional on the same day

• Routinely – The doctor or nurse of your choice – within five of their working days

Appointments with a Registrar for birth and deaths can now be booked via The Council Customer Service Centre on 0344 800 8020.  Customers can call between 09:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday and book their appointment to register a birth or death at the best office for them, at the earliest or most convenient time.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00 if you require a home visit.

You may only request a home visit if you are 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.

You can 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.
