The link opposite is for our online consultation service. This short online form is the quickest and simplest way for the majority of our patients to access our clinical team for assistance. Our Practice phone lines remain open for anyone with accessibility needs who might find difficulty completing the form.

The submitted forms will be read during Practice hours. The forms will not be read at weekends or Bank Holidays. They will not be read Monday-Friday between the hours of 17:30 - 08:00. Please contact 111 during out of hours or 999 if this is an emergency.

Patient access and the NHS app are also great ways to use our services, including online prescriptions and checking your results.

We ask that all requests for GP appointments are made by filling in an online form or by phone and not at the front desk due to confidentiality of the patient making the request. 

If you require a nurse appointment such as a blood test or dressing, please contact us in plenty of time especially if it needs to be done on a specific day. Our nurse appointments are limited and can be pre-booked up to 4 weeks in advance. 

If you wish to have a chaperone present during an examination, let us know in advance and we will be happy to provide one.

You can book certain appointments at the surgery without the need to call us. Some Nurse appointments are available to book on the NHS App. You must have had a discussion with a Doctor or ANP before booking a blood test unless it is a routine test for medication monitoring or an annual review. 

To get started:

• Tell a member of staff at reception you would like to start using the online service.
• You will be required to confirm your identity. 
• A letter will be printed off with your unique username and password for you to log in and start using online services.

 For other appointments you will have to complete an Online Consultation Form or call us and speak to Reception. 

Don’t forget the many other resources available to you that may be better suited for your problem than a consultation with a GP:

• Over the counter medication
• Advice from local pharmacist
• Resources available on-line from the NHS website
• Phoning 111 and asking advice from that service
• Minor Injury Unit
• Phoning 999 in any potential life threatening emergency

To aid patients needing a consultation, we politely ask all patients phoning with a general enquiry to do so after 11:00. 

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:00.

Home visits will usually take place between 12:00 and 15:00. If the problem is very urgent and cannot wait for a visit over lunch time please make the receptionist aware and provide as much information as possible about the nature of the problem.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

We are working together with other local practices to offer more appointments in the early mornings, evenings or at weekends.

Please ask a member of the practice team to find out more.

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient.

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.

The practice is actively involved in postgraduate training of doctors wishing to become GP's. Training GPs have several years hospital experience before they join the practice team. 

The practice also regularly takes groups of undergraduate medical students from the University of Bristol to familiarise them and provide them with an insight into the work of general practice.

Patients may, from time to time, be asked if they mind having another doctor present during their consultation, or if they mind their consultation being recorded for training purposes. The doctors fully understand that some patients may prefer not to have another doctor present or their consultation recorded and will always respect the wishes of the patient at these times.
