Book a Routine Appointment

Appointments can be made in advance however, they soon become booked, so please allow plenty of notice.

If you need more time with the doctor, ask the receptionist for a longer appointment. You can express a preference for a specific practitioner, and the practice will do its best to accommodate your request based on urgency and availability. Continuity of care is important for patient safety and satisfaction.

While we strive to keep appointment times, delays can happen, so please be patient.

Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)

Home Visits

If you are too ill to attend surgery you can request the doctor to call.

If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30am. If the problem is urgent please make it clear to the receptionist.

Telephone: 01443 740447

For all calls you will be asked to give brief details and your telephone number.

Try to be reasonable in your request for home visits. It is much easier for the doctor to assess and examine you in the surgery. Remember that in the time it takes to do a home visit he could see about five patients in the surgery. Lack of transport is not a valid reason for requesting a home visit. Transport could be sought from possibly a neighbour, relative or taxi service.

Change or Cancel an Appointment

Please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.

Ways to cancel

1. Telephone us on 01443 740447.

2. Cancel through the NHS Wales App

GP Registrars and Medical Students

We are a training practice, and you may be offered an appointment with a GP registrar. These doctors are fully qualified and will have had experience in several hospital specialties. They are completing their specialist training as a GP.

We also teach medical students and sometimes you may be asked to see the doctor or nurse with a student present.

You will always be asked beforehand if this is acceptable and you may ask for the student to withdraw if you prefer to have your consultation in private.

Chaperones

The Health Centre is committed to providing a safe comfortable environment where patients and staff can be confident that best practice is being followed at all times and the safety of everyone is of paramount importance.

All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they feel one is required.

Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations in accordance with our chaperone policy.

If you would like to see a copy of our chaperone policy or have any questions or comments regarding this please contact Ann Brown, Practice Manager.
