Taking ANTIBIOTICS when you don't need them puts you and your family at risk

Taking antibiotics encourages harmful bacteria that live inside you to become resistant.  That means that antibiotics may not work when you really need them.  This puts you and your family at risk of a more severe or longer illness.

Take your doctor or nurse's advice when it comes to antibiotics.

Your feedback counts

Many people don't quite know how to provide feedback on the care they have received from the NHS, but it's incredibly important to have your say so you can help shape and improve your local services.

The NHS Friends and Family Test gives you the chance to provide quick, anonymous feedback on your care and treatment experience.  All you have to do is ask to complete the Friends and Family Test in the surgery or complete online by clicking on "take the patient survey" on the home page, and you can say what went well and what you think can be improved.

Your feedback really can help to make a difference to patients' lives.  To find out more about the NHS Friends and Family Test please visit:-  www.nhs.uk/friendsandfamily 

NHS 111

You should dial 111 if you need urgent medical care when the surgery is closed.  Please refer to the opening times when we are closed section.

Zero Tolerance

We aim to treat our patients courteously at all times and expect our patients to treat our staff with due respect. We take seriously any threatening, abusive or violent behaviour against any of our staff or patients.

If a patient is violent or abusive they will be warned to stop such behaviour. If they persist, we may exercise our right to take action to have them removed, immediately if necessary, from our list of patients.

Home Visits

home_visitPlease telephone reception before 11am if you wish to request a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the surgery.
