Appointments
Our practice offers various appointment types including face-to-face, phone, video, and text/email consultations. Patients can request specific healthcare professionals and book up to two weeks in advance. Urgent appointments receive priority triage through our online systems or telephone service.
Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions can be ordered via the NHS App, Patient Access portal, or paper forms. We require 48-hour notice for processing and work with local pharmacies for collection or delivery. Medication reviews ensure ongoing suitability and safety for long-term prescriptions.
Online Consultations
Our digital platforms enable 24/7 symptom checking, appointment booking, and medical requests through systems like RapidHealth and Patchs. Patients access their records, submit queries, and receive advice without visiting the surgery, enhancing accessibility for working individuals and carers.

Patients receive test results through secure channels with clear explanations from medical professionals. We ensure timely follow-up for abnormal results while maintaining confidentiality. Our systems flag critical results requiring immediate attention to prevent delays in treatment.

We provide home visits for housebound patients with advance notice, though we encourage surgery attendance when possible. Our policy balances clinical need with resource efficiency, prioritising visits before 10:30am to optimise doctor schedules while accommodating emergencies.
