Your appointment

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • face to face at the surgery
  • on a video call
  • by text or email

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.

Cancelling or changing an appointment

If you cannot keep an appointment, please cancel it as soon as possible so we can help another patient.

To cancel your appointment:

  • use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
  • phone us on 01720 422628 during opening hours
  • use the “cancel your appointment link” in the reminder text message that you have been sent

If you need help when we are closed

We provide evening and weekend appointments outside of our normal opening hours. These can be booked by calling the surgery or by calling 111.

Extended access appointments may be at a different location.

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

If you need help with your appointment

Please tell us:

  • if there’s a specific doctor, nurse or other health professional you would prefer to respond
  • if you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face, by video call or by text or email
  • if you need an interpreter
  • if you have any other access or communication needs

Home visits

If you are housebound and need an appointment, we will do a home visit. We will phone you first to understand what you need.

To request a home visit, it’s helpful if you phone the practice as soon after opening as possible.
