Practice nurse appointment lengths, depend on the reason for the appointment. It is important to inform the receptionist of the reason for a nurse appointment, to allow the receptionist to book the correct length of time for the appointment and for any necessary equipment to be prepared.
The surgery operates an advanced access appointments system. And you can have chaperone for your appointment if you feel one is necessary.
This means that we allow pre-booking appointments by up to 3 months and a certain amount of appointments are saved for patients that ring “on the day”.
We aim to be able to offer an appointment within 2 working days, However, if you wish to specify a particular doctor, you may need to wait longer.
We are currently offering text message reminders for appointments and health promotion. If you have a mobile and wish to advantage of this service, please call into the surgery to complete a consent form. PLEASE remember – to ensure confidentiality, it is your responsibility to keep us updated with any changes in mobile numbers to prevent information being sent to the wrong person. If you receive a text reminder and you no longer need or want the appointment, simply reply to the text, to let us know. This service is for patients aged 18yrs and over. Please note: We are unable to apply a mobile to several patients using one mobile number. This will ensure that all reminders go to the correct person. Therefore, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we must insist on one mobile per person. We hope you will understand that this is required in order for us to ensure patient confidentiality.
If you feel you need further information about the appointments system, please ask at reception.
