Help Us Help You

  • You Let us know if you change your name, address or telephone number
  • Do everything you can to keep your appointment at the practice and be on time
  • Ask for home visits from a doctor only when the person is too ill to visit the surgery and is housebound. Whenever possible make requests for visits between 9.00 and 11.00 am so the doctor can plan the rest of his day.
  • Avoid calling the surgery during the peak morning periods for non urgent matters
  • Remember to allow two full working days for repeat prescriptions (this does not include the time needed by the Pharmacy to prepare your prescription)
  • While you are with the doctor ensure you bring out all relevant issues prior to an examination which will greatly aid the diagnosis
