Cancelling Your Appointment
When you receive an appointment at the practice, please ensure that you arrive on time. If you can no longer make your appointment, it is very important you let the practice know so this can be offered to another patient.
A lot of money is wasted in the NHS every year by patients who do not attend a booked appointment.
If you receive an appointment reminder via text message and want to cancel it, you can text back CANCEL which will immediately cancel the appointment. Alternatively, you can call your practice to cancel your appointment.
Home Visits
Home visits are only for patients who are housebound or too ill to attend the surgery. It is better for you to be seen at the surgery where there are better diagnostic tools and better facilities to properly assess you.
If you require a home visit please contact the surgery as soon as possible in the morning and give the receptionist your details.

Non-urgent advice: Patient Notice
If urgent medical attention/advice is required out of hours then patients should call 111 or attend their local Urgent Care Centre/Accident & Emergency as appropriate.
Interpreting and Translation Support
The Practice has a professional translating service to offer translation for patients whose first language is not English.
The service can also provide a BSL interpreter to provide sign language for patients with hearing difficulties.
Please advise Reception when making an appointment that you require this support, so this can be arranged for your appointment.
