Home visits

Requests for home visits should be made between 8:30am to 10am, but patients are reminded that it is preferable that appointments take place in the surgery where diagnostic facilities are ideal.

Emergency requests can be made at any time, but it is essential that the nature of the emergency is stated as home visits are usually restricted to Elderly, housebound, or seriously ill patient.

We cannot guarantee that one of our practice GP’s will attend as we use the Acute In-hours Visiting Service (AIVS) to support the GP’s when demand is high. AIVS will visit with 6 hours of the visit being passed to them.

Sickness certificates (fit notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

Visit our Sickness Certificates page

Request test results

You usually don't need to book an appointment to get your test results.
