Appointments

Dr's timetable - w/e 25 April 13

We run an appointment only system at all our surgeries. Our team of receptionists are here to assist you, and will give you any help they can.

We aim to offer multiple access points with patients being able to choose how to access the practice, for example, we offfer:

Bookable face to face/telephone consultations
Choice of seeing doctor or nurse (patients suffering from a minor illness may be offered an appointment with a nurse in the first instance)
Range of treatment options and dedicated clinics for specific conditions
Access via website, see bottom of our homepage
Use of 'on call' doctor to assess requests for acute medical problems that may require same day attention.

Morning surgeries tend to run from 8.30 - 11.00 am with evening surgeries usually running from 3.45 - 5.30 pm. In addition, there are also a number a early afternoon surgeries that run on a number of days during the week. Despite our best efforts it is not possible to run surgeries to exact schedules, our receptionists will always try to let you know if there is any undue delay.

We also provide appointments with GP's outside our normal opening hours. These surgeries are for pre-booked appointments ONLY, and are designed to help those patients who work full time. Our normal services CANNOT be accessed during these hours. These surgeries operate from our main site in Selby only on the following days/times:

Monday: 7.00 - 8.00 am and 6.30 - 7.30 pm

Tuesday: 7.00 - 8.00 am

When making your appointment the receptionist will ask you the nature of the problem, this is intended to ensure that an appointment can be made for you with the most appropriate clinician & avoiding any unnecessary delay In asking this question the receptionist is in no way 'being nosey' but is trying to determine the most suitable person for you to see at the earliest possible opportunity. This could be a doctor, a health visitor or a practice nurse.

If you cannot keep your appointment for any reason, please let us know, it can then be offered to someone else.

Patients who regularly/persistently fail to attend their pre booked appointment may be removed from our list

Home Visits

Home visits take up a lot more of a GP's time than an appointment in surgery, so we would ask you to bear this in mind when requesting one. We encourage patients to come to the surgeries whenever possible.

If you need a home visit because you are too ill to come to the surgery, please telephone the appropriate surgery before 10.30 am if possible.

Our receptionists will need to know some details in order to give the GPs an idea of the priority for a visit.

Please note that even by taking your details, the receptionists are not guaranteeing a visit. A member of the clinical team may telephone you back for more information, and it is possible you will be invited into the surgery for an appointment, if a visit is felt to be unnecessary. A lack of easily available transport is not necessarily a reason to need a home visit.

Please help us by coming in to surgery whenever possible.

Telephone Consultations

We offer a limited number of telephone consultations with each doctor. These are designed for patients who may need some advice without needing to be seen in person. These appointments are for short, brief discussions and are set at 5 minutes in duration.

The Shingles vaccine is not available until September this year
