All surgeries are by appointment only.

Telephone

We operate a call handling system for all incoming telephone calls to both Crofton and Sharlston health centres.
           

     08444 993 995

Internet

Some appointments are available via the internet. As we are only just starting this service, there may be few or no appointments available via the web. This does not mean that there are no appointments available at all. In future it is likely that more appointments will be accessible via the net and that it will include more services. This depends clearly on what patients and staff think of this new service.

• To make an appointment, telephone when the Surgery is open.
• If the doctor of your choice is not available you will be offered the earliest possible alternative.
• Urgent cases will still all be seen on the same day, you can talk to a Nurse specialist to see if you need an urgent appointment by talking to them over the phone.   
• Appointments will only be able to be pre-booked two weeks in advance.
• Telephone before 10.00 for Home visits ( You will only get a home visit if the doctor or nurse agrees with you that there is a need for this )
• Telephone after 10.00 for non urgent requirements
• Inform us if you cannot attend
• Inform us of problems or concerns

To make sure that patients can see a GP or Practice Nurse as soon as possible, we have agreed that only a limited number of appointments can be booked in advance.

All other appointments will be available on the day. Please contact the surgery to make an appointment on the day you want to come if you don’t need to pre-book.

Monday appointments will be booked on the day only. 

If you are phoning for any other reason than to make an appointment or home visit, can you please ring after 10am.

We have Nurse specialists trained in the diagnosis and treatment of many common illnesses and you may be offered an appointment with them.

We also offer appointments with our Practice Nurses. If you think your problem can be dealt with by a Practice Nurse please inform the Reception Team who can book this appointment for you. Our Practice Nurses can help you with:
