Home Visits

If you are unable to get to the surgery and request a home visit, please do so before 10:30 a.m. in order to assess the urgency and plan accordingly. Either the Triage nurse or one of the doctors may call you back for further details, to give advice, to arrange to see you at the surgery or to arrange the home visit. In the time taken to do a home visit, we can see four people in the surgery where there are better facilities. We therefore ask that you request a home visit only when absolutely necessary. We follow national guidelines on visiting, as do the North Staffs Urgent Care service and you should note in particular that transport difficulties do not alone justify a home visit.

Patients with Particular Needs

The surgery has access and facilities for disabled patients. We also have disabled parking spaces which are reserved for patients displaying a disabled sticker. For patients with hearing problems we have a loop induction kit; please inform the receptionist if you need this service.

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions will be available within 2 working days from receipt of the request. Repeat prescriptions are usually given for 28 days with the exception of specific drugs. If an item on your prescription is marked for 'For Review see GP' you may need to see a GP. A Doctor will review the prescription and inform you on your repeat slip what type of appointment you need. Please inform the receptionist if this applied to you in order to save yourself an unnecessary visit to the surgery.
