The doctors are usually willing to give advice over the telephone. If you wish to speak to a doctor please phone the surgery, choosing Option 1. You should bear in mind that the doctor may be in the middle of a busy surgery so normally we will need to take a message and ask the doctor to ring you back.

The telephonist will ask who the advice is for and will also ask for a brief idea of the problem, in case the doctor needs to have relevant notes etc to hand. We ask for the telephone number you are calling from so that we can call you back.

If you have to telephone for the results of tests you have had at the surgery please telephone after 10.00am. We receive our delivery of test results at approximately 12 noon and the doctor has to have time to see these before the result can be given to you.
