Our routine appointments for both telephone and face to face are now pre-bookable up to 2 months in advance, meaning you no longer have to call or wait for a designated day or time to get a routine appointment. Our trained receptionists will try to ensure you are signposted to the correct clinician or service within 2 weeks of you contacting the surgery, whether that be with a Pharmacist, walk in centre, Hub, or at the surgery.

 

Domestic Abuse Aware Practice

The staff in your GP practice are trained to ask about domestic abuse and specialist workers are available to support you. Your practice is an ‘IRIS’ practice. You can talk to the doctors, nurses or other staff working here, if you are being hurt or controlled by your current or ex-partner, are afraid of someone at home or a member of your family.

​

The IRIS service is for all GP patients and staff aged 18 or over, whatever age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or background.

​

Social isolation can increase stress at home, impacting on you and your family’s well-being. Your GP practice is here to help you.

​

Please contact your GP for help and advice. They will refer you to the practices’ IRIS worker, the ‘IRIS Advocate Educator’.
