If the doctor needs to see you in person or you would prefer a face-to-face appointment, we will invite you to come in.

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.

Home Visits

The receptionist will ask the reason for the visit please give her as much information as possible, this will enable the doctors to prioritise urgent cases.

If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11am.

Telephone: 01622 754 898

Home visits are for housebound patients or frail patients, and patients who are genuinely too ill to come into the surgery.

Lack of transport is not a valid reason for a home visit.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in surgery, in the time it takes to do a home visit.

Self-service Blood Pressure Machine

Using the self-service blood pressure machine located on the 1st floor, please take 3 readings and also take your own weight on the scales provided. Keep all this information with you registration pack as reception will need this information.

Change or Cancel an Appointment

Please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.

Ways to cancel

1. Telephone us on 01622 754 898.

2. Text "CANCEL" to your text (SMS) message reminder
