Telephone Advice

If you need advice, please telephone the surgery. A note will be made of your call and one of the reception team will call you back after consulting with a clinical member of staff.

Contact us about your request (accurx.com))

However you choose to contact us we may offer you a consultation:

• By phone
• Face to face at the surgery
• On a video call

Appointments by phone or video call can be more flexible and often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner.

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with.

We will use the information you give us to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional to help you.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment.

You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance (excluding weekends and public holidays).
