Points to consider

Last Updated: Tuesday, 29 August 2023

We suggest that the points listed below are worthy of consideration and will be helpful to both patients and staff.

• Do you need to see a doctor or nurse?
• Check the common ailments list at the back of this   handbook before making an appointment.
• Telephone lines are always busy first thing in the morning.  If your call is not an urgent one please consider telephoning later in the day.
• Remember telephone advice is available.
• A sick note can sometimes be extended without the need for an appointment with a doctor. Please leave a message.
• If urgent a repeat prescription can sometimes be issued without an appointment if you have consulted the doctor about your condition previously.
