Pharmacy & Self-Care

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.

Requesting Doctor appointments

When you speak to reception about a routine appointment please let them know if you would rather have a telephone or a face to face appointment.

 

Alternatively, you may want to consider using our online consultation tool eConsult. The system will ask you questions which help us to gather information about your concerns ahead of any consultation. We use this information to ensure that you are directed to the right person if a consultation is needed or your query is resolved quickly if no consultation is needed. You can also use this system to make an administrative query.

Appointments Lengths

Please try and help us to keep to time by being aware of the length of your appointment. We do our best to run to time but we also do our best to listen carefully to our patients and deal with their problems safely and effectively. This inevitably means that, on occasion, we end up running late.

Routine appointments last 12 minutes. This is longer than the national average of 10 minutes. Even so, it is often difficult to fit everything that needs to be done into that time.

Please book two single appointments and spread the issues across these. Patients trying to cram too much into a single appointment is the main reason you may be seen late.

Doctors new to the practice and doctors in GP training programmes are given longer appointments until they are familiar with the practice.

Prescription requests

You do not usually need an appointment to request a repeat prescription. Please see our prescriptions page for more information.
