APPOINTMENTS & HOME VISITS
In process of being updated
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Please help the surgery to run smoothly by arriving at least five minutes before your appointment is due.
Doctors’ appointments are booked at 10-minute intervals.
We can only effectively see one patient and one problem per appointment so please do not ask the doctor to see anyone else who is present with you during your consultation.
Please avoid asking the doctor for repeat prescriptions during the consultation, this takes up valuable time and we have a repeat prescription system.
Please inform us in good time if you are unable to attend your appointment so we may offer it to another patient.
If you are unwell it may be helpful to bring a sample of urine with you.
If you are bringing a baby, please dress him or her with a vest (or other) to enable easy examination of chest and abdomen.
These measures are to help us provide the best quality of prompt service and care for our patients.
It is hoped that wherever possible patients will attend the surgery for consultation.
To request a home visit please ring 0116 2950 600 before 10.00am if possible.
Home visiting is limited to patients who are acutely ill or suffering from a terminal illness.
You may be asked to speak to a doctor for a home visit to be assessed.
When requesting a home visit the following details will be required:
Full name and or address of patient requiring visit
Name of usual GP
Telephone number
Details of problem
Please have a urine specimen available for testing at the time of your visit if you are unwell
TELEPHONE ADVICE
We appreciate that many of our patients are very busy and sometimes may find it difficult to come to the surgery for an appointment.
Our doctors and nurses can offer booked telephone consultations each day. If you have a medical problem that your doctor or nurse is already aware of, or you need some simple medical advice, you will be able to speak to the doctor or nurse, this may alleviate the need for you to attend an appointment at the surgery.
Please telephone the surgery on the appointments line and ask the receptionist for more information or to book a telephone consultation.
Please see our information on out of hours’ care and walk-in centres
PRESCRIPTIONS
We have a computerised repeat prescription service. Repeat prescriptions are normally for patients with long-term conditions who receive regular treatment. Your doctor or nurse practitioner will decide who can have a repeat prescription.
From time to time we will ask you to see your doctor (nurse practitioner) to review your medication. We do this to monitor your illness and medication.
You can ask for a repeat prescription: by calling into the surgery when the reception is open; by post; or online.
Wherever possible please give the exact drug names when ordering. Your prescription will be available for collection from the Practice and/or sent directly electronically to your chosen Pharmacy in two working days (after 2pm). If your prescription goes straight to your chosen Pharmacy electronically, please leave additional time on top of the two working days for them to process the order before you go and collect.
Due to the high volume of repeat prescription requests, we are UNABLE to take requests over the telephone.
