CONTINUITY OF CARE & URGENT QUERIES
Continuity of Care
We like to encourage patients to stay with one particular doctor for reasons of continuity and to improve this all patients have been given a usual doctor. This will improve the continuity we can offer and result in improvements in care.
If your doctor is not visible when trying to book an appointment, it might be because they’re away from the Practice (annual/study leave). Please call reception to seek for an alternative.
Urgent enquiries
Urgent queries can be dealt with on the day. Please telephone first. The emergency doctor is on duty from 9am to 12.30pm and from 2.30pm until 6.30pm. If you have a medical emergency at lunchtime you can ring the practice to obtain the emergency number to get through to us. Please try and telephone before 5pm if you can because large numbers of late calls make it difficult for the doctors to manage workload.
