Urgent / Telephone Consultations

These appointments are for the patients who need medical help urgently .Urgent appointments are for medical emergencies that cannot wait until the next day to be treated.

We try to accommodate the needs of patients to speak with a GP or Nurse on the telephone in urgent medical conditions. The receptionist will take details of your medical emergency and these will be given to the GP if available. The GP will then telephone you back to discuss your symptoms and will assess how urgently you need to be seen. Please make sure that you are free to receive the GP’s call.

Cancellations

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.

Due to an increase in the number of wasted appointments due to failing to attend without informing the surgery, it has become necessary to implement the following policy.

If you fail to attend 2 consecutive appointments then you will be sent a letter informing you of our concerns and stating that if another appointment is missed you may be removed from the practice list.

If a third appointment is missed, you will be sent a similar letter but informing you that you will be removed from the practice and will have to find an alternative doctor.
