Urgent/same day appointments
We operate a triage system for all urgent/same day appointment requests. If you require a same-day appointment you will be called back by a doctor or a nurse practitioners, who will give you advice, arrange any tests that are required and if necessary book you an appointment. Please let the receptionist know if you will have difficulty answering the phone or need to be called at specific times. We will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
PLEASE NOTE if your phone is call barred please let us know as our number is automatically withheld and we would not be able to return your call.
Please ring the practice in the usual way if you need any of the following:
- Sick notes
- Insurance forms
- Blue Badge examinations
- Medical examinations
- Test results (unless the doctor has asked you to book)
- Prescription queries
- Referrals queries
- Chronic disease reviews
- Minor surgery
Cancelling an appointment
If you no longer need your appointment for whatever reason, please cancel it so that we can give the appointment to someone else.
You can cancel an appointment by telephone or using your online account.
Please do not email the practice with cancellations as these may not be picked up in time.
PATCHS is the new easy way for you to contact your GP practice online. PATCHS has been designed by GPs to make it easier to contact your practice and save you time.
Just answer a few simple questions and PATCHS gets you the help you need quickly.
You can use PATCHS to contact your GP practice for health advice, condition monitoring, fit notes, appointment bookings, and more…
PATCHS provides lots of benefits including being able to make requests in your own time, avoid telephone queues and waiting rooms, and getting quick responses. PATCHS also helps patients who struggle to contact their GP practice using the telephone or in-person. This includes patients who have hearing or speaking impairments, anxiety, and who speak English as a second language.

How to book
To book these appointments please contact your registered practice by phone or in person requesting an appointment during these times at your local hub. By booking an appointment, patients consent for clinicians based at the local hubs to access their full medical record in order to can offer a safe and knowledgeable service.
Home visits
If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00 if you require a home visit.
A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it is possible that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse to see you, or indeed to arrange a hospital attendance.
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability. Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the health centre.
