Pharmacy & Self-Care

Your pharmacy can advise you on minor illness without the need of an appointment. Please speak to a pharmacist first.

Pharmacy

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.

Urgent Appointments

I have an URGENT health concern requiring on the day attention

If you need to see a doctor urgently on the day (urgent meaning it is not regarding regular medication, ongoing problems), please book an appointment online.

Alternatively you can telephone the surgery on 01903 850900 or come in and book an emergency appointment. These are run every day and are only bookable on the day.

All requests for same day appointments will be passed to the duty doctor (telephone triage). They will discuss your medical problem with you over the telephone. If they are unable to resolve your problem over the telephone then they will book you a face-to-face appointment for that day.
