Nuffield House Surgery - Appointment booking

If you are aged 16 years or over and would like to be reminded by text of your forthcoming appointments, please call into the surgery to sign a consent form.

Routine Appointments NOT required for the same day.

Routine appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance. So if you know you are going to need an appointment within the next 4 weeks book it as soon as you can.

To book a routine appointments please telephone where possible between 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. or by calling into the surgery. We will try to fit you in with your usual General Practitioner. However, if there are no appointments with your usual GP we may have no choice but to ask you to see another Doctor.

If you cannot keep an appointment please let us know by telephoning 0844 815 15 18 and selecting option 1; wasted appointments mean a longer wait for others.

Bookable on the Day Appointments.

We have a limited number of bookable on the day appointments. This means that from 8.00 a.m. we have a quantity of appointments available for morning and afternoon on that day.

It does not have to be for an urgent matter. You can make these appointments by either telephoning or calling into the surgery. Please be aware you will find the telephone lines very busy during this period. We understand this can be frustrating if you cannot get through straight away, but be assured that we are manning the telephones constantly. Remember that these appointments are limited and it is always best to book in advance whenever possible.

Urgent Appointments.

If your problem is urgent you will be given an urgent appointment for the surgery that is running at the time. You may be asked by the Receptionist the nature of your condition/problem so the Receptionist can deal with the appointment appropriately. Please note that when booking an urgent appointment you may not get the doctor of your choice.

Home Visits

These should be reserved for patients who are genuinely too ill to come to the surgery. If you need a home visit, please telephone before 10.30 a.m. on the day the visit is required. The receptionist will require details of the patient and the problem so that the doctor can assess the priority of the call.
