Appointments
Appointments can be made by telephone or at the reception desk.  Please make a separate appointment for each person.  If you find you are unable to attend please cancel as soon as possible so that the appointment can be offered to someone else

Test Results
Please contact the surgery to obtain the results of tests or x-rays. For reasons of confidentiality test results can only be given to the patient themselves or to the parent or legal guardian of children under 16 years of age.

Telephone Advice
If you require a telephone consultation with a doctor or nurse, please tell the receptionist who will arrange for the doctor or nurse to ring you on the contact details you provide.  Telephone consultations will usually take place after the end of each surgery or clinic

Test Results

Please contact the surgery to obtain the results of tests or x-rays. For reasons of confidentiality test results can only be given to the patient themselves or to the parent or legal guardian of children under 16 years of age.

For similar reasons the results of pregnancy tests are only given in person and not over the telephone.

Normal results can be given over the telephone by practice staff.

However, our receptionists are not trained to recognise whether an abnormal result is significant or not and if in doubt will ask you to discuss this with the triage nurse.

It is important to note that it is your responsibility to contact the surgery for test results as it is not routine to contact patients even when test results are not normal.
