How you can help us!
In order that we can provide the best possible service to our patients, we would ask that you help us by:
- Arriving at the surgery on time for appointments and notifying us if you are unable to attend.
- Being patient if we are running late.
- Notifying us of any changes to your personal details.
- Following the advice offered; it may not always be necessary for you to have a prescription.
- Only booking a home visit if you feel it is really necessary; facilities for examination and treatment are better at the surgery.
- We ask that you treat our clinicians and all members of staff with courtesy and respect.
