HOME VISITS
If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11:00am, if a visit is required that day.
Telephone: 01707 294354
In the first instance the GP will call you to discuss your request. The GP will then advise you whether or not a visit is appropriate for a particular set of circumstances.
CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT
It is important that you inform the Reception Team if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow the appointment to be offered to another patient.
Please Telephone: 01707 294354, option 1, then option 2, and follow the intructions to cancel your appointment.
Please give us as much notice as possible.
If you FAIL to notify the Practice you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. This may mean a delay in you securing a further appointment.
Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the Practice list.
COST OF A CANCELLED APPOINTMENT
If we are not notified of a cancelled appointment, it costs approx. £30-£60 each time to the NHS each time a patient 'Does not Attend'
We need your cooperation in reducing this cost of non-attendance to appointments. This has a negative financial bearing on all our services thus impacting on patient care.

TEXT REMINDER SERVICE
We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.
To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.
Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.
