Saturday Mornings

We are open for extended hours and have a surgery starting at 8.30 a.m. with one doctor and one nurse in attendance. For patients unable to attend the surgery during weekday hours, we offer routine appointments which can be prebooked up to a week in advance and a few appointments available on the morning. As there is only one doctor on duty you may not be able to see your usual GP.

For urgent problems and home visits on a Saturday morning patients will be directed to the Out of Hours Service provided by the Primary Care Trust.

Out of Hours

If you need a doctor urgently out of hours please ring 01277 821699. Patients will be automatically transfered to the PCT provided Out of Hours Care Service.

Test Results

If you have had any tests or X-Rays and the doctor has asked you to telephone for the results, please could you ring after 11.00a.m. or preferably in the afternoon when the phones are less busy.

Travel Information

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.  This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.  There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.  These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.  Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
