HOW TO SEE THE DOCTOR/NURSE
All consultations to see a doctor/nurse are by appointment, made by telephoning 01726 890370.
For an appointment outside of normal opening hours please speak to speak with the Duty Dr.
You can also pre book appointments using the NHS App.
You can also use one of our online services.
Young People
In most cases, patients under the age of 16 years may want to attend with a parent or legal guardian.
However, this is not a requirement.
Should any young person require an appointment, you will be treated with the same dignity and respect whether alone or accompanied. If you require privacy please ask at reception and you will be directed to an appropriate location.
AN URGENT APPOINTMENT
Urgent requests to be seen on the same day will be dealt with as necessary, though you may have to be prepared to wait.
111 online
The online service is now available across England.
People visit 111.nhs.uk, enter their age, sex, postcode and main symptom and are then asked a series of questions about their health problem.
They can:
- find out how to get the right healthcare in their area, including whether they need to see a GP or seek urgent care
- get advice on self-care
- in most areas, get a call back from a nurse, doctor or other trained health professional if they need it
Benefits of 111 online
111 online is a fast and convenient alternative to the 111 phone service and provides an option for patients to access 111 digitally.
It is one of several digital NHS services that are empowering people to manage their own health and care.
People can also access 111 online through the new NHS App.
