MINOR INJURIES SERVICE

Did you know that we now provide a minor injury service?

We can deal with less serious injuries such as deep cuts, severe sprains, minor head injuries, Minor burns and scalds, animal bites amongst other injuries.

Many people go to accident and emergency at hospital for these complaints but it can be faster and more appropriate to be seen here. Accident and emergency staff must give priority to serious life threatening conditions, so if you go there with a minor injury you may have to wait a long time to be seen.

Therefore, call us or pop in when you are injured and we will let you know if we can deal with it here at the health centre.

We DO NOT have x-ray Facilities but can assess your injury and refer you if necessary.

DOCTORS

Dr Bentley is now back from maternity leave. Dr Fermer has reduced her hours to 3 full days and Dr Alla has joined our team full time.

APPOINTMENTS SYSTEM

Following feedback from our recent patient survey and government initiatives, we are rationalising our appointments system. This makes it easier to book appointments ahead at times to suit patients. However, for urgent appointments on the day, all requests must be made by telephone. This means that (with your co-operation) all these requests can be managed on the day. We hope that this will do away with “the scrum” at our front door each morning.

In order to further improve the availability of appointments, we have increased the number of appointments that can be booked in advance.

The booking of appointments in advance can still be made in person at the desk.

Please note that URGENT same day appointments are no longer be available by turning up at Reception. All requests for these appointments should be made by telephone.
