Requests for Appointments
For ongoing conditions, we will offer you a routine appointment with the same clinician as we know that seeing the same person can be helpful to good health outcomes. You can choose if your appointment is held face to face or over the telephone.
Our Duty Team assess any requests for urgent appointments for new symptoms between 8:00am and 4:30pm - after this time, we will accept requests for genuine emergency matters which cannot wait until the next day.

Fit Notes (Sick Line)
If you have been off work for 7 days or less, you do NOT need a fit note. Discuss with your employer how to self-certify.
If you have been off work for more than 7 days and need your first fit note, phone reception on 01224 492828 between 10am - 12pm or 2pm - 6pm - our team will ask for details of the issue and book a GP telephone appointment as needed.
If you have already had a fit note and need this to be extended, please phone reception and our team will ask you for further details to be passed to your GP. Unless you hear otherwise (if our clinician needs more information) your fit note will be available for collection after 2 days.
