Helping the appointment system run smoothly

  • f you are unable to keep your appointment please notify the surgery as soon as possible by telephoning reception.
  • One appointment is for one person; one problem.  If another member of your family wishes to see the doctor or nurse, please book a further appointment. 
  • When arriving at the surgery for your appointment, always inform reception
  • Sometimes people can forget to tell the doctor all the important information about their problem.  It may help to write their symptoms down.
  • If you don’t understand what the doctor or nurse says to you, please don’t be afraid to ask for a further explanation.
  • It can sometimes help to have a partner or friend with you.
  • If you are seeing the doctor to discuss the result of an investigation or a recent hospital treatment, check with reception first that any important results or letters have been received.
  • Appointments may not be required to have insurance forms completed or renewal of sickness certificates.  Please ask at reception
  • If you would like a chaperone please speak to the GP/nurse.
