Duty Doctor service- for when you have an urgent medical need

To make it easier for you to get the right help when you need it urgently we are offering a Duty Doctor Service in this practice. Duty Doctor is in place from 8.00am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.

When you phone with an urgent problem, the Duty Doctor will ring you back within 2 hours and will decide the best way to help you. The doctor may:

• Give you advice straight away over the phone
• Arrange for you to come into the practice to see a doctor or nurse or other member of staff
• Arrange for a home visit if you are not well enough to come to the surgery and the doctor thinks you need to be seen
• Direct you towards other services which can help

If you need urgent medical advice for you or someone you care for, please call the practice on our usual number and ask the reception team about speaking to the Duty Doctor. They will ask you a few questions and if they decide the duty doctor is the right person to help they will arrange for them to call you back WITHIN 2 HOURS.

This service offers you quick access to your GP practice, where they know you and have your full medical record. We recommend this service instead of going to A&E.

Please note this is NOT an EMERGENCY SERVICE. In the event of severe/life threatening injury or illness such as severe chest pain/ difficulty breathing, please call 999

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

If you are very unwell with severe or life threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing or severe chest pain, please call 999.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment in order that we can give the slot to someone else.

Evening & Weekend Appointments - Extended Access

Evening and weekend appointments are now available for our patients, in addition to our normal opening hours of 8am to 6.30pm.

These evening and weekend appointments may take place by phone, video, or face-to-face depending on your clinical need.

You may be offered an appointment at your GP practice, another local GP practice or another local NHS service.  This is because we are working with other local GP practices to provide these appointments - our practice is part of a small group of practices called a Primary Care Network. This group of practices works together in a number of ways to deliver services in your area.
