Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 11am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Medical Centre.

Triage System

The receptionists make all the routine appointments and manage the unscheduled care requests (same day service). If you require a same day appointment our triage staff will ask you about your problem taking “triage information”. This information is needed to help the doctors to prioritise the same day appointments for those in greatest clinical need. All our triage staff receive additional training in message taking, data protection and confidentiality.

Please be assured that all information forms part of your medical record which is treated in the strictest confidence.

Doctors in training

GP Registrar/FY2

We have been a training practice since 2003 and we also supervise Foundation Year doctors (FY2).

FY2s are recently qualified doctors who come to general practice to gain GP experience before deciding which specialist training program to enter. GP Registrars are qualified doctors who are on a three year specialist training program now required to become a GP. GP Registrars are assessed by an experienced GP educator analysing their consulting skills using video recording of real consultations.

You may therefore be asked to give consent for your consultation to be recorded for teaching purposes.

Medical Students

We teach and support medical students who are training to be doctors. There may be a medical student in with the doctor you have made an appointment to see. Our staff will make you aware of this and ask your permission before entering the consultation room.
