Your appointment
However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:
- by phone
- face to face at the surgery
- on a video call

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.
We are a training practice and often have a number of medical students in the surgery. We see this a vital part of their training experience.
Your GP may request that a medical student see you first or be present during your consultation. You can refuse to have a medical student present if you prefer.

Home visits
Only housebound, frail and terminally ill patients can request a home visit. These requests should be phoned through to the surgery before 10.30am if possible. The reception staff will ask you for details to allow the doctor to assess the urgency of the case.
Lack of transport is not a valid reason for a request for a home visit.
