Services
Appointments
Report
Both Fearnhead Cross Medical Centre and Longford Street Surgery operate an appointment system for GPs, practice nurses and all associated clinics. Patients are able to make a pre-bookable appointment with a GP or nurse clinician up to four weeks in advance. All other appointments for GPs or nurse clinician are on a book on the day basis and cannot be booked in advance.
EConsult
Report
This is an online service that is available 24/7 and allows you to contact your GP for help and advice. It will ask you to fill out a form asking you questions about your condition, symptoms or details of a request for administrative help, such as a sick note or a GP letter. You will then be contacted with a response by the end of the next working day.
Telephone calls
Report
Sometimes it may not be necessary for you to make a doctor's appointment if you feel that a Practice Nurse could help you or give you advice. We have a telephone advice line operated by one of our Practice Nurse's or Clinical Pharmacist each day. If however they feel as though you should consult with a doctor, they will organise the appointment for you.
Extended Hours Clinics
Report
Our Extended Hours Clinics are held outside of our normal opening hours. The Clinics are available with GP's, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Health Care Assistants. We will now also offer an early morning clinic which will be held from 6.30am - 8.00am, again this will be held over both Surgery's.
Home Visits
Report
Home visits are for patients whose physical condition makes it impossible for them to come to surgery. We do not undertake home visits for social reasons i.e. lack of transport. Requests for home visits should be made by 10.30am where possible by calling the Surgery and pressing option 3. The receptionist will take your details and you will receive a triage call from a Clinician before a home visit is made.
