Phoning the surgery
Ringing the surgery is one of the most popular ways to make an appointment, however at peak times the telephone lines can be very busy. The below graph shows the times when the surgery’s telephone lines are usually most busy, and you may experience longer waiting times.
If you are calling for Results (option 3) between 10am-11am & 15:00-16:00 and for Prescription Queries (option 4) between 10am-11am and 15:00-16:00
If your need is non-urgent, please consider ringing at another time of the day, or you may wish to use eConsult to get in touch. You can do this here.
Do not use eConsult if your medical problem is urgent. Call the practice or visit www.111.nhs.uk. If you or someone else is seriously ill, and their life is in danger, call 999.
