'Sit and Wait' Surgeries
We have extended our 'Sit and Wait' surgery sessions to every morning.
If you ring for an appointment between 9.00 am and 10.30 am we will offer you a choice of appointments. If you feel you need to be seen on the day we will ask you it if is something the doctor can deal with over the telephone. But if it is something you need to see a doctor in a consultation for, you will be asked to come and 'Sit and Wait' in the surgery and you will be seen in that 'Sit and Wait' surgery session.
When you check in at reception the computer gives you a number and we call people in turn,
As an alternative to ringing for an appointment, if you want to be seen in the 'Sit and Wait' surgery just come down to reception between 9.00 am and 10.30 am and register at reception and you will be seen in turn.
Routine appointments are still available to book up to six weeks in advance.
If your condition requires immediate attention for example chest pain, breathlessness, etc then you will be offered an appointment with the 'on-call' doctor who may wish to speak to you in the first instance to assess how quickly you need to be seen.
We hope by doing this we will make it easier for patients to get same day appointments, reduce the requirements for the doctor to discuss appointment requests with you and over time improve our availability of routine appointments.
