Urgent appointments for today
If you feel that your problem is urgent, you should tell the receptionist and every effort will be made for you to be seen the same day.
If the doctor needs to see you in person or you would prefer a face-to-face appointment, we will invite you to come in.
Patients are free to consult any available doctor. However, if you wish to see a particular doctor you may need to wait a little longer for an appointment.
GP appointments are 15 minutes from one patient to the next. This includes background reading before you enter and documenting the consultation afterwards. If you have multiple problems to discuss, we may not be able to deal with all of these safely in a single appointment. Please consider if a double appointment is needed. The clinician may suggest you return for a separate appointment for non-urgent matters so there is appropriate time available to you.
Ways to book
1. Telephone: 01875 810736
Extended Access
We also have extended access available. See our Out of Hours information.

Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)

Home Visits
Please be aware that our GPs will always call to assess the home visit request first.
If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10am.
Telephone: 01875 810736
Home visits are for patients who are too ill or frail to attend the surgery. Please try to telephone before 10am if you require a visit the same day. It is not always possible for any one particular doctor to make the visit.
Please remember that house calls are time-consuming and that doctors will usually be able to provide a more comprehensive service at a surgery consultation.
Change or Cancel an Appointment
Please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.
How to cancel
- Telephone us on 01875 810736.
GP Video Link
Important
Video consultations are only available by prior arrangement with the GP.
Please do not try and contact us by this video link unless you have arranged the call with a GP in advance.

- If you are on your smartphone, tablet or computer (provided it has a camera), visit the NHS Attend Anywhere website
- On the next screen, click on the “Start video call” button
- On the next screen, enter your personal details (name, date of birth, phone number) and tick the “I accept” box and click on “Continue”
- On the next screen, click on the “Start Call” button
- You will then be transferred through to the GP, who will be able to accept your call and then you can communicate by video link.
It may take a minute or two for the GP to accept your call.

We offer appointments for patients who are working and unable to attend during normal working hours.
Our Practice Nurse runs an early morning clinic every Tuesday and Friday and the GPs also hold either an early morning or late evening clinic every few weeks (please ask the Reception Team for more details of exact dates and timings).
Life Threatening

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Urgent But Not Life Threatening
Visit an urgent care centre if:
- You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention
Non-urgent
Use NHS 24 Online if:
- You need help now, but it’s not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
