HOW DO
I... NHS Direct has staff who are able to provide advice concerning most health matters. The number is 0845 4647, and we encourage you to use this service. Web: www.nhsdirect.org.uk
HOW
DO I... Routine Appointments You can make an appointment to see a doctor or nurse by telephoning 01452 522709/522575 between 8.30am and 12.45pm and 1.45 and 6.30pm on weekdays. Appointments are normally for 10 minutes. Urgent Appointments We will see you on the same day if your problem is urgent. However, you may not be given the time or doctor of your choice. If you cannot keep an appointment please let us know in good time so that it can be offered to another patient. HOW
DO I... Please only request a home visit if you are too ill to come to the surgery. The facilities are better at the surgery and several patients can be seen in the time it takes to do a home visit. If you do need a home visit, please telephone by 10.00am, on 01452 522709/522575. You will be visited by the duty doctor. HOW
DO I... When you have blood tests or x-rays you will be told either to make an appointment or telephone for results and advised how long to wait. Please phone on 522709/522575 after 2.00pm, for enquiries and for test results. HOW
DO I... Our computer is linked to NHS Gloucestershire for speed and accuracy of patient information. Please can you help us to keep our records up to date by telling us when your name, address or telephone number changes. HOW DO I... We welcome new patients who have moved into our practice area (see the map within this website).
Patients will normally be placed on the list of a doctor who has a vacancy; however,
this is simply for administrative purposes and you may see whichever doctor you
wish. For example you may see a female doctor if you have a preference despite
being on the list of a male doctor. |
