Locum Doctors
Locum doctors are used to cover surgeries when your doctor is on holiday, study leave or sick leave. Locum doctors are also used to cover some night calls.

To Speak to the Doctor
Your doctor may be contacted by telephone at the end of surgery i.e. between 11.30am and 11.45am. Please do not disturb your doctor during surgery hours.
Do not telephone the doctor for repeat prescriptions.

New Patients
To register at the Practice, please bring your medical card. This should be signed and your present address should be completed if this has changed. If you do not have a medical card, please ask reception for a GMS1 form. All new patients over 5 years of age will be invited to make an appointment with the Practice Nurse for a general health check. This includes height, weight, blood pressure and a few general questions concerning your health, please bring a urine sample to this appointment and all current medication being used.
To register online please click here.

Repeat Prescriptions
If you are prescribed regular medication please ask a receptionist for a print out of your repeat medication for your reference. Please select items off this list and allow 48 hours for this to be processed. Please remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope if posting and indicate if your prescription is to be collected from the surgery or sent to Brights chemist or Alliance or Gospel Lane pharmacy. Please remember to renew your prescription well before your existing medication runs out. It is advisable to use the same chemist on each occasion to avoid confusion. Repeat prescriptions will not be taken over the telephone! Allowances will be made for the over 65's and the housebound.

• Please note patients can order repeat medication through our website.

• Please make sure you have your medication in front of you to ensure the correct information is entered on your request.

HELP YOUR LOCAL NHS TACKLE THE PROBLEM OF MEDICINE WASTE
Sometimes patients or carers with repeat prescriptions continue to get more medicines than they really need and stockpile them at home. Please think carefully before ticking all the boxes on your repeat prescription forms and only tick those you really need. If you are receiving items of medication you no longer use please inform your GP or reception staff. Thank You
