How do I…?

How do I see a doctor urgently?

Call the surgery at 8:00am for a same-day urgent appointment. If the surgery is closed, call NHS 111. For a life-threatening emergency, always call 999.

How long does a repeat prescription take?

Allow two working days between ordering and collection. Order through the NHS App or the slip box at reception — we cannot take repeat orders over the phone, which keeps the lines free for people who need to talk to us.

Can I choose which GP I see?

Yes — tell us your preference when booking. Continuity matters, and we will always try to book you with your usual GP, though you may wait a little longer.

How do I update my contact details?

Update your details in the NHS App, or tell reception next time you visit. Keeping your mobile number current means you get appointment reminders by text.
