Consulting hours

Patients may book doctors' appointments up to 5 working days in advance (practically speaking this means one week). For urgent problems we also run open clinics which are book on the day with either a doctor or the nurse practitioner. The book on the day clinics should be for single problems that cannot wait. For patients with a number of issues, or routine problems, the normal appointments are more appropriate.

bullet

Surgery opening hours are 8am - 6pm on weekdays.

Since the PCT took over responsibility for out of hours services (Nov 1st 2004) we are no longer able to offer Saturday morning and Public holiday surgeries, as this is the PCT's responsibility and they have commissioned Primecare to provide Primary Care out of hours services during these hours, as well as the rest of the out of hours period.

bullet

Doctors usually consult for two surgeries of 2+ hours each day, except when carrying out other duties, such as casualty cover or other hospital work. In view of the fact that this changes from week to week, it is best to phone to find out when a particular doctor is consulting.

Video taping of consultations. As a training practice, occasionally patients are asked if they would allow their consultation to be videotaped. This is done solely for educational purposes and only if patients give written consent. The tape is then erased as soon as the educational activity has been completed. If patients change their mind after a videotaped consultation, the tape would be immediately erased. We are very grateful to our patients for co-operating with this activity.
