The Surgery has a duty
doctor who is on call each day. Their duties include undertaking home
visits and providing telephone advice.
If you require a HOME
VISIT please telephone as early as possible in the day, preferably before
10am. The Receptionist will ask you a few basic questions that will help
the doctor prioritise the visits. It is appreciated if patients can
attend the Surgery as patients are often seen quicker if they can attend
in person.
If you require TELEPHONE ADVICE please telephone
the Surgery during the day and leave a message with the Reception staff.
The duty doctor will call you back as soon as they are able. Reception
staff are unable to give a precise time for return calls. These will
depend upon a number of factors including emergencies in the Surgery and
home visits. TELEPHONE health advice can also be sought from
NHS 24 by telephoning 08454 24 24 24
