below). Patients are not registered with a specific doctor. You
can see whichever doctor you choose. If you are unable to keep
an appointment, please let us know. If you would like details of
the current surgery timetable please ask at reception for a leaflet.
Home Visits
If you are too ill to come to the surgery, a home visit can be
arranged by telephoning the surgery, preferably before 10.00am.
Please be prepared to give details to our receptionist as this will
