We are closed on a Saturday morning. You can still access a doctor by ringing our telephone number and you will be given the number for the Out of Hours service which is 0845 121 0235.  The Out of Hours service operates from 6.30 pm until 8.00 am and all weekends and Bank Holidays.   

Once a month, normally the THIRD Wednesday of the month, we close both surgeries for the whole afternoon for a training and education session for the Doctors, nurses and staff.  A doctor is on duty at the Practice for emergency calls.

Our telephone lines are open from 8am until 6.30pm.

As well as routine surgeries to see the doctor, you can now book telephone appointments with a doctor.



In response to feedback from patients we have revised our appointments system. We have to ensure we continue to achieve the government’s “48 hour access” target by providing a significant proportion of appointments as available on the day. We also need to meet the needs of that proportion of our patients who wish to organise their appointments further in advance.

All morning appointments are available for booking in advance - up to 6 weeks. These are primarily for patients who need to prebook because of transport needs, work commitments or other constraining factors. These appointments are followed by an Open Access surgery - patients can phone in on the morning (any time until 11.45 am normally) to be given an approximate time to return later in the morning when the doctor will see them.  Patients can turn up before 11.45 am to be seen in Open Access.   
Afternoon appointments are either prebookable 6 weeks in advance or available to book on the day.

If you are not sure whether you need an appointment with a doctor, you might find it useful to look at the section of our website which gives you “Simple Treatment Advice”.

Need the telephone number? Call 01934 862532.




In order to order a repeat prescription you will need to fill out the right hand side of your prescription and drop it into us 48 hours before you require the prescription. We also offer an Email Repeat Prescriptions ordering service :  you need to pick up a registration form from Reception to register for this service. 
You can also FAX your request to us on 01934 852551

We regret that we are not able to take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.
