Doctor's Telephone Appointments
Many matters can be simply managed by speaking with a doctor or a nurse over the telephone. Our receptionist may direct you to one of these appointments or feel free to ask for one yourself when calling.
Examples of things that can be dealt with over the phone include simple paperwork matters, medication reviews for patients on 1 or 2 repeat medications, advice about other health care services.
Making a diagnosis over the telephone isn't always possible and so you may be directed to one of the other appointment options if a face to face assessment is needed.
If you are not sure that you need to see a doctor, or you just need some advice over the telephone, we are able to offer a telephone surgery appointment each day from 8.30am to 10.15 am.
The receptionist will ask for your details, along with your telephone number and the doctor will ring you back at an estimated time that will be given to you.
In addition to the morning telephone surgery, if you are wanting to speak to a particular doctor or nurse, you will be able to have your name entered on to the next suitable telephone surgery list.
