You can book appointments online using:
- SystmOnline. To use SystmOnline you will need a Practice ID number and Access ID number which you can get from the practice, and with a password, will be unique to you.
Only one problem per appointment. Patients often present with four or five problems in one appointment and this causes problems, mainly to other patients whose appointments may be delayed as a result. If you have more than one problem, please ask for more than one appointment slot.
Patients under 16 years should usually be accompanied by a parent
If you attend the appointment 10 minutes over the allocated time slot you will be refused treatment and will need to make another appointment at a later date.
Cancelling or changing an appointment
Once you have made an appointment: keep it or cancel it. If you can not make your appointment let us know as soon as you can so another patient can book the appointment time.

The fact that a patient makes an appointment and does not keep it is recorded in our records. As this is such a problem repeat offenders may be removed from the practice list.

Home Visits
Home visits are only for those patients who are seriously ill and/or too frail to attend surgery e.g. an elderly housebound patient with no means of transport to the surgery. A short journey in most cases will not make a condition any worse.
If you need a visit, please telephone the surgery before 10.30am. giving full details. This will help the doctor to plan their round of visits, attending to the most urgent ones first. The doctor may phone back and take details of the condition. In some cases they may provide telephone advice instead of making a visit. Please remember that it is the doctor’s decision whether a visit will be needed dependent upon the medical condition of the patient.
