Appointments

We are in the process of changing our appointments system to an online system. This will go live on 11 July.

As a stepping stone to the new system we have had to stop booking appointments ahead but this is a temporary arrangement. 

A new icon will appear on this website soon to allow you to register for our new online appointments service called AskMyGp. This should allow you access to a GP online throughout the working day. If you register for this service you will no longer have to wait in a telephone queue!

Watch this space...... and thank you for bearing with us through this changeover period

Temporary Residents

UK citizens

If you are in the area for a short time and require medical treatment you are able to register with this practice as a temporary resident. This gives you the same access to general medical services as registered patients but either for a period of 24 hours up to 15 days, or between 15 days and three months.

If you are going to be in the area for longer than three months you should register fully with a GP.

If you are registered with another practice locally it is essential that you attend your own practice where your medical notes are available.

With the ability to send an electronic prescription to anywhere in the country any prescription requests and queries should be directed to your registered surgery. Thsi woudl alos be the case for an online or telephone request for care as this is carried out remotely.  

Overseas visitors

If you’re in England for a short visit but need to see a GP for something that wont wait until you return home, you can register as a temporary patient for immediate necessary care. 
You need to be in the area for more than 24 hours but less than 3 months.
Treatment will be free of charge, but you may be required to present your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you have one.
