Home Visits

If you are too ill to come to the Health Centre a home visit can be arranged by telephoning 01364 72394. Visits are carried out at the end of morning surgery.

It is helpful if you can ring before 10.30am so that the Doctors can plan to see the most urgent cases first.

Telephone Consultations

At times it may be more appropriate and easier for you to talk to a doctor or a nurse on the telephone rather than coming into the Health Centre for an appointment.  If you would like a telephone consultation, please ask a receptionist and you will be given a time when the doctor or nurse will call you back.

Please be aware that reception staff have been asked not to interrupt the Doctor during surgery unless it is an emergency.
