We’re making things easier for you by sending your prescriptions electronically to your pharmacy, ready for you to collect your medicines.

 

 

All you have to do to start using the electronic prescription service is choose which pharmacy to collect your prescriptions from. Just let the receptionists know which pharmacy you would like your prescriptions to go to or ask your pharmacist.

 

During this pandemic our telephone lines are extremely busy and we would advise not to order prescriptions by phone if you can use one of the above methods. This will keep phone lines clear for patients in need of medical assistance.

Appointments

All surgeries are by appointment only.

 

  • NHS services across the Yorkshire region are experiencing extremely high demand at the moment – this includes GP practices which are extremely busy
  • If you need advice for a minor/mild illness or injury, in the first instance, please either contact your local pharmacy for help or look at the self-care advice that’s available on-line from the NHS at www.nhs.uk
  • Please watch the following online video to help you choose the most appropriate service for your needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS6FdL9ObFM
  • If you want to check your symptoms, there is an online symptom checker available at 111.nhs.uk, which will re-direct you to a health professional if you need to be consulted by someone
  • The 111 online service is effective and efficient and endorsed by your GP. You will be dealt with more quickly using 111 online than calling 111. Go to www.111.nhs.uk

calendar_penPatients can book appointments with the doctor or nurse of their choice if they wish to do so by telephoning reception during opening hours. 

We know you’re busy.  That’s why we allow appointments to be booked up to four weeks in advance so you can plan around family and work commitments.  We will offer you a choice of which clinician you see and the time at which you see them.  This is useful if you want to see the same doctor or nurse every time you visit, as we know many people do.  Not every clinician is available every day.  If the clinician of your choice is not available you will be offered the earliest possible alternative. 

Urgent cases will have access to a healthcare professional on the same day.

Monday is generally the busiest day of the week and there will only be a limited number of pre-bookable appointments available on this day.

You can also register for online booking which allows you to book your own appointments using our online booking systems. Please contact reception for further details.

Telephone Access

Dr Craven is available to speak to patients on the telephone between 16:30 and 17:00 Tuesday to Friday.

Practice Nurses

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many conditions and you may be seen more quickly.

Cancellations

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
