This will help us to be more efficient by making an appointment available to you when you need it the most.

Pharmacy & Self-Care
Pharmacy
Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines 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.
Self-Care
Before requesting an appointment with one of our clinicians, it may be worth looking at our self-referrals page to check if a surgery appointment is needed for the service you require.
Urgent appointments for today or tomorrow (Monday to Friday)
Patients requesting a same-day appointment for a problem that is considered urgent will be offered a telephone triage for on the day appointments.
How to book

Book a Routine Appointment
Important
If we are short on appointments you may be offered an appointment in the hub, which is located at The Deerbrook Surgery but operated by other doctors.
Patients may consult with the doctor of their choice by appointment, though there may be a delay if you wish to see a specific doctor.
Ways to book
Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)
You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.
Travel Vaccinations
Information and advice for travelling abroad.
Home Visits
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible.
In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30am.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.
A lack of transport is not considered reasonable grounds for a home visit.
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

Chaperones
You are very welcome to be accompanied by a trusted friend or relative at your consultation if you wish.
Interpreting Services
Please inform the receptionist using our Contact the Practice form, if you will need an interpreter when you make your appointment. This can be arranged for most languages. The surgery usually uses interprets over the telephone.
