To request an urgent appointment:
When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with.
We will use the information you give us to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or other health care professional to help you.
When someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk dial 999.
These are solely at the GP/ Advanced Nurse Practitioner discretion.
Please can we ask that any routine home visit requests are submitted to the practice before 11am. The practice cannot guarantee attendance to any routine home visit requests received after 11am and the visit may therefore be deferred until the following day.
When requesting a home visit please give the receptionists as much information as possible regarding the reasons for the request and ensure contact details are correct.
The clinician will usually talk directly to the patient when a home visit is requested.
Please do not request a home visit unless the patient is houseboune or genuinely too ill to attend surgery.
