The following sections provide information on how to chose the best service for your needs. Our patients can access primary care services via virtual, remote or, if appropriate, face-to-face interactions. You can book an appointment with your GP by calling the surgery or by using online services.
Pharmacists are able to offer a breadth of support to patients close to home thanks to a new service that allows them to supply medications for certain conditions.
Pharmacists are now allowed to supply medications for:

However, we fully understand that some conditions or circumstances make surgery attendance impossible. In such cases we would ask that you phone the surgery before 10am.
Most patients do attend their booked appointments. However, a significant minority fail to attend. This means that those appointment slots are wasted. It is easy to cancel by phone or online.

Our phone lines are open at 8am. This is usually a busy time so we recommend ringing later in the morning for non-urgent requests and queries. If requesting an appointment, please be prepared to give our team as much information as possible to help us understand your requirements.
Face to face appointments are normally arranged after a telephone assessment has been completed. You may be asked to complete an Klinik request in certain circumstances. In addition to our GPs, we have access to a wide range of healthcare professionals and services which may provide the most appropriate response for your needs. Urgent cases will be seen as a priority and less urgent cases can be booked ahead. Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners are able to deal with many routine adult cases and can issue prescriptions or refer top other health professionals.
KLINIK is the fastest way to get advice from your GP - and you may not need to come for an appointment, All Klinik enquiries are reviewed by one of our GPs. This will be your usual GP if available on the day the Klinik is received.
Normally, responses are provided to you the next working day. This may be advice, a prescription, an appointment, referral to another service or a request for tests. Klinik is completely secure and approved by NHS England. The system was developed by a panel of working GPs and is regularly reviewed. Click the banner below to access the service:
>> CONTACT THE SURGERY THROUGH KLINIKIf you're away from home and need to see a GP, you can contact any GP surgery nearby.
You can receive emergency treatment from a GP surgery for up to 14 days – for example, if you fall ill while on holiday. If your treatment will last longer than that, you'll have to register as a temporary or permanent resident.
You can register as a temporary resident if you're in the area for longer than 24 hours but less than 3 months. If you'll be in the area for longer than 3 months, you'll have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
