Pharmacy

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

Locate your local pharmacy

If you feel that your problem is urgent, you should tell the receptionist and every effort will be made for you to be seen the same day.

If the doctor needs to see you in person or you would prefer a face-to-face appointment, we will invite you to come in.

Please help us by telephoning 01305 766472 before coming to the practice.

I have a non-urgent problem and can wait up to 4 weeks to be seen. You can book appointments with your Doctor or Nurse Practitioner up to 4 weeks in advance.

Routine appointments with the Practice Nurse, Healthcare Assistant or Phlebotomist can also be pre-booked up to 4 weeks in advance.

Please help our Receptionists and Doctors by asking for the correct appointment. If your problem is urgent you will be offered an appointment on that day. If you have more than one problem you would like to discuss, please ask for a longer appointment.

Have we got your correct mobile phone number?

We now send appointment reminders by text message. If you can’t make it on the day – please reply with "CANCEL".

Further details on how to cancel your appointment

If you or someone you know has a life-threatening condition, such as loss of consciousness, a sudden confused state, chest pain, breathing difficulties etc, you should call 999.
