The receptionist will ask you for a brief description of the problem and will offer you a sameday appointment to see a Doctor. If you call after 11am, the receptionist will pass on the nature of your problem to the Doctor, who will either request you come to the surgery or they will telephone you to discuss the problem.

Routine appointments

Home visits

We would appreciate if requests for home visits could be made before 10am. Home visits are only for those too ill to travel to surgery or for the housebound. You may be telephoned by a doctor to assess the need for a home visit. In order to assess the urgency of the visit, the reception will ask about the patient’s condition and a description of the symptoms.

Sickness certificates (fit notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.
