Our healthcare team comprises a wide range of professionals.

For day-to-day appointments, you might be seen by either a Doctor, Nurse or practice-based Pharmacist depending on the nature of the problem. Our practice nurse and pharmacist team are specially trained to assess and treat a wide range of health conditions meaning that it will not always be necessary to see a doctor.

• Requests will be reviewed same day by the practice Clinical team and if the issue is deemed urgent then you will receive a text same day notifying you of the 4hr time slot (morning or afternoon) during which the doctor will contact you.
• Morning calls are 9am-1pm and afternoon slots are 2pm-6.30pm.
• Once the doctor has been in touch, they will directly book you to be seen face to face if the issue can not be managed over the phone. Over 95% of our same day urgent issues that require a face-to-face appointment are booked same day and the remainder next day at most.
• If the query is deemed to be appropriate for another member of clinical staff (e.g. practice pharmacist or nurse) then you will be booked into their clinic and notified accordingly.
• If you do not have online access or have access needs, then you can call the surgery and one of the receptionists can complete the form with you over the phone.
• If telephone call is missed call will be returned within an hour IF the request is received.
   

Our Rota is released in 2 week blocks to avoid long delays to receive care. We have online slots available to book with the following healthcare professionals:

• Doctor (Telephone call slots which will then be converted to a Face to Face appointment if deemed necessary after the GP has spoken to you)
• Nurse (Only Face to Face slots)
• Practice Pharmacist (Option offered for Telephone or Face to Face slots)
• Health Care Assistant (Only Face to Face slots)

Please note that if your issue is an Emergency such as significant difficulty breathing or chest pain then the appropriate service to contact is 999 not your GP.

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 or face-to-face
• if you need an interpreter
