If you require a home visit please try to submit your request before 11:30am when the doctors are allocated their visits.
When requesting a visit give as much detail as you can, such as who is making the request, the patient's details including a telephone number, and the reason for the visit.
Please help to provide these details as it allows the doctor to prioritise their visit rounds.
Urgent visits and visits requested after 11am will be assessed by the duty doctor for that day and they will visit or offer advice as appropriate.
Please do not make routine, non-urgent requests for visits for the same day after 11am.
Home Visit Guidelines
Medical staff can assess and treat many more patients at the surgery than on time-consuming home visits. We have the benefit of proper facilities and test equipment at the premises.
We would appreciate, therefore, home visit requests being made only when absolutely unavoidable, where the patient cannot attend surgery.
Occasionally on telephone triaging a visit request, the doctor may advise dialling 999 for an emergency ambulance rather than personally attending. This will occur when the patient's condition is considered to be potentially life threatening and delays in transfer to hospital should be avoided e.g. heart attacks, difficulty breathing or severe bleeding.
The vast majority of childhood fevers, colds, earaches, etc are suitable to bring to the surgery. There is no danger in bringing a child with a temperature outside, and indeed it may help cool them down.
Patients with rashes e.g. chicken pox, which might possibly be infectious, can be placed in an isolated room away from other patients if the receptionist is informed on arrival or by prior telephone arrangement.
Most adult complaints are best assessed at the surgery. The exceptions are the terminally ill and the truly bed-bound patient.
Please accept that it is the responsibility of the patient and not the doctors to provide suitable transport to the surgery.
We offer Face to Face appointments and Telephone appointments.
All requests for an appointment must be submitted on an Online Contact us request here . If you are unable to complete or access the form please contact us on 0121 421 8400 and a staff member will go through the form with you.
Whilst we cannot guarantee the exact time of the call back, we can narrow it down if requested to ensure the time will be convenient, for example “after 1pm” or “at work till 4pm please call after” and the clinician will try their best to accommodate this.
Appointments are for 10 minutes. We are not a walk-in centre and do not offer walk-in services.
Patients may request to speak to a particular doctor or gender of doctor, and this will be honoured whenever possible.
Sometimes a particular doctor may be unavailable for routine appointments or may already be fully booked, in which case you will be offered an appointment with an alternative clinician.
Nurse appointments can be booked up to two weeks in advance and are for wounds, removal of sutures, immunisations, minor injuries, leg ulcer treatment and medication reviews for asthma, blood pressure, COPD, angina, diabetes and smear test appointments. Nurse appointments are face-to-face unless stated otherwise by the receptionist.
