How to see your Doctor at the Surgery

All consultations are by appointment.  Please book well in advance whenever possible.  Routine appointments with GP are available between 3 - 6 months ahead.  If you need to be seen as an emergency please make that clear to the receptionist. You may see any of the doctors but it is sensible to see the same one, particularly for ongoing problems.

At Home

Whenever possible patients should be seen at the surgery, which is fully equipped for examinations and diagnostic tests.  If you think you may not be well enough to attend please phone to speak to a doctor, preferably before 10.30am.  All visits are at the discretion of the GP.

Telephone Advice

Telephone advice is available from all members of the Practice team.  If you particularly wish to speak to a doctor, the receptionist will advise you of the most suitable time to call.

Alternatively you can call NHS Direct on  0845 46 47

Out of Hours Service

(6.30pm - 8.00am)

This is strictly an emergency only service.  If you require help ring the surgery number and listen carefully to the entire recorded message.  You may phone the Out of Hours service direct on 0845 408 8000, or access NHS Direct on-line at www.nhsdirect.co.uk .  If broken bones or other significant injuries are suspected you should go directly to Casualty at Musgrove Park Hospital.
