Additional Patient Information

Temporary Residents

The doctors are prepared to see any of your family and friends who need a doctor when they are staying with you. Similarly, when you are away from home in the UK you can visit any local doctor as a temporary resident, without having to register as a permanent patient at that surgery.

Accessible Information

If you need the practice to provide information in a different format such as large print or easy read please let us know and we will arrange to provide this service for you.

Deaf Patients

Sign language interpreters can be booked for face to face consultations at the surgery.  Please let reception staff know if you require an interpreter and they will arrange this for you.  Please note there may be a short wait for this service so please let us have as much notice as possible so that we can find a suitable appointment slot that both you and the interpreter can attend.  Please note there is no charge for this service.

Translation Services

The practice can arrange translation services for patients.  Please ask at reception if you need a translator.
