PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS!! 

It is essential that when a patient orders repeat medication that they allow 48 WORKING HOURS  if you wish your  medication to be sent to a named chemist.  If you are ordering an acute item which might be deemed more urgent, it is important that you tell the receptionist so that this can be prioritised.  If you have asked for your medication to be collected at the chemist we would kindly ask that you would check with them first before presenting yourself to reception but again please allow a minimum of 24 WORKING HOURS!

THANK YOU

WE HAVE 3 TYPES OF APPOINTMENTS

 

  1.  You can book a Routine Appointment with the Doctor of your choice at the time of your choice up to 1 month in advance
  2. If you feel this is too long to wait you can book an Earlier Routine Appointment with one of the other Doctors
  3. If you feel this is too long to wait you can book an Urgent Appointment

 

URGENT APPOINTMENTS 

Should really be for acute medical problems rather than ongoing conditions as we cannot offer you a specific doctor who may know your case well…… if you can wait please do.  We cannot offer you a choice of appointment times, however if you are unwell and need attention we will do our best to ensure that you see a Doctor as soon as possible.

 If you cannot keep your appointment please phone to cancel ASAP
