If
you do not have a touch-tone telephone, or are uneasy with using this
system, please stay on the line and the operator will deal with your call
in the usual way.
When telephoning the
surgery please try to keep your calls as brief as possible, and if you
can, avoid calling during the morning for non-urgent enquiries as this
tends to be our busiest time.
If you wish
to speak to a doctor or nurse personally, please
telephone 01625 872
299 and press '0' for the operator. Tell
the receptionist
the name of the person you wish to speak to and
give a brief outline of the reason. It is not normally possible for the
doctors or nurses to take telephone calls during surgery, but you will be
given a time to call back when they are
expected to be
available.
Please be patient and understanding if the doctor/nurse is not available
when you call back. Surgeries may over-run, or the doctor may dealing with
an emergency.
If you wish to telephone the surgery for test results please ring after
3.00 pm, allowing
four to five days for the test
results to reach us
(NB some tests results may take longer). If any urgent treatment or
follow-up is needed the Practice will contact you.
