The doctors and nurses are available for consultation during their clinic hours, morning, afternoon and early evening. These vary from time to time. All surgery times are by appointment. If you think the matter will take longer than usual (e.g. insurance medical, coil fitting) please inform the receptionist when booking your appointment.
Pharmacy First
The new Pharmacy First Service will enable community pharmacists to complete episodes of care for patients without the need for the patient to visit their general practice. They can help with the following issues:
| Clinical pathway | Age range |
|---|---|
| Acute Otitis Media (Ear pain) | 1 to 17 years |
| Impetigo (Skin infection) | 1 year and over |
| Infected insect bites | 1 year and over |
| Shingles | 18 years and over |
| Sinusitis | 12 years and over |
| Sore throat | 5 years and over |
| Uncomplicated urinary tract infections | Women 16-64 years |
If you have any of the above symptoms, you can visit your local pharmacy, who will be able to see you the same day and advise on the best course of action.

Home visits
If you are housebound or too ill to come to the surgery and require a home visit, please contact the surgery if possible before 10:30am as this helps the doctor to plan their rounds.
If possible please attend the surgery, as we have better facilities for examination and treatment. The decision as to the need for a home visit rests with the doctor.
