Request a home visit...
The doctor may telephone you to assess whether a visit is required, and may either give advice, arrange a surgery appointment or a home visit as is deemed appropriate.
Therefore, we offer home visits only to patients who the doctor or nurse feel are too ill to attend the surgery or who are registered as housebound.
We will not visit on the grounds of convenience, as this is unfair on other patients who would have to forego having an appointment in the surgery.
We expect patients to make arrangements for travel to and from the surgery. If you feel that you fulfil the criteria for a home visit, please ring before 10:30 am.
Obtain test results...
Blood test results are usually (but not always) available five working days after the day of the test. X-rays may take two to three weeks, and cervical smears up to eight weeks.
You will be notified immediately if there is any abnormality which needs further action.
Obtain a sick note...
A medical fit note has replaced the sick note.
It is not required for the first seven days of sickness, which is covered by 
self certification form SC2
This form is used by an employee to provide their employer with details of sick absences of 4 or more days in a row. GP's are not obliged to issue fit notes for periods of sickness of less than seven days duration.
If you are likely to be off work for longer than seven days, you will need to see a doctor to ask for a fit note. If you require a repeat fit note, please ask the reception staff as you may not require an appointment for this.

Arrange a medical...
If you wish to have a general health assessment, please ask the receptionist.
If you require a medical for a HGV license, taxi license or anything similar, you will need to see a doctor.
Have a form filled...
If you require a form to be filled, such as for the cancellation of a holiday
on medical grounds, you can leave these at reception.
There will usually be a charge for all private forms of this nature,
for which your insurance company will ask that you pay.
Please allow two weeks for completion.
