How Do I...
Make An Appointment?

Routine appointments may be made well in advance (maximum two months) by telephoning or calling at the surgery. At the Belmont Health Centre, the first five appointments of the morning clinics and the last three appointments of the afternoon clinics are bookable in advance.

All other appointments are booked on the day. Patients should telephone, or come into the surgery from 08.00 onwards – first-come, first-served.

At the Long Elmes surgery, all morning clinics are by appointment only and all evening clinics are walk-in.

If you cannot keep an appointment, please inform us as soon as is possible as this will assist in oversubscribed situations.

How Do I...
Obtain A Home Visit?

Patients are requested to telephone before 10.00 if a visit is required that day. Emergency visits only will be arranged after that time. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to house calls.

Please remember that several patients can be seen at the surgery in the time that it takes to do a home visit.
