Cancel my Appointment

If you are unable to keep an appointment, please ring the cancellation line open 24hrs: 01656 673355.

House Calls 


To request a housecall please telephone the surgery between 8.00 am – 11.00 am.

Our doctors will only visit a patient at home when the patient is unable to attend the surgery due to illness or disability. We always encourage patients to come into the surgery because this is where the best care can be provided. The doctors only have access to your full medical records at the surgery. Specialist equipment is here, examinations and tests can be carried out more easily and some conditions can only be treated at the surgery.

Please see Clinics and Services for other appointment services we offer
