APPOINTMENTS WITH A DOCTOR

Appointments with a doctor may be booked up to two weeks in advance.  Appointments are available from 8.20am onwards with lunchtime / late evening appointments available.  You may choose to make any routine appointment with a doctor either a face to face consultation or a telephone consultation.

TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS

The doctor will call you back on the telephone number which you give when you book.  Do remember that just like a face to face consultation, the doctor may occasionally be running a little late so you may need to wait by the phone.  If you are booking using your internet account please write 'Telephone' and your number in the space provided.  Please note that we do not take repeat prescription requests over the telephone.

BLOOD TEST APPOINTMENTS

Blood test appointments may be booked up to two weeks in advance in person, by telephone or online using your EMIS Access internet account (See below). Blood tests must be authorised by a clinician.

You may also book a blood test with the Southdowns Phlebotomy service (Telephone 265588). Please ask for a copy of your blood test authorisation form to take with you.

When you arrive for an appointment you do not need to queue  - just check yourself in using the Touch Screen at our front desk. Please follow the on-screen instructions carefully. The system may sometimes direct you to a receptionist to avoid an error or if you are late.
