We are now making on the day bookable telephone and face to face appointments. 

If you have a usual GP, or are booking a follow-up appointment, please try to book with the same GP.

Appointments can be made online if you have signed up to online services, or by phoning reception. If you phone reception you will be offered an appointment. If you feel your problem is more urgent than this, please let the receptionist know and you will be given the options of being added to the duty list or completing an econsult.

You may be asked to send in a digital image.  Please read the attached protocol for further information.

Face to Face Appointments

We wish to assure you we are taking all necessary precautions in order to keep our staff and patients safe.

PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR OWN FACE MASK WHEREVER POSSIBLE.

Please click here for more information on Saturday appointments and how to book them.

Weekday evening GP appointments and weekend appointments are also available at Lymington Hospital. These can be booked by ringing the surgery. For more information about this service please click here

This is an online consultation platform which gives you the options of finding advice to help yourself, requesting the surgery's assistance with administrative problems (such as sick notes or referrals) or asking for advice/treatment for a medical problem.  This also gives the option of securely uploading photos for review. 

We aim to provide a response within 2 working days of these being submitted.

If you think you are going to be late for an appointment please contact the surgery as soon as possible to advise us.

Patients who arrive within 15 minutes of their booked appointment will be seen at the doctor or nurses discretion. 

If you are more than 15 minutes late we will need to re-book your appointment.

Patients that are housebound may request a home visit if you become unwell. This may be undertaken by a GP from the practice, a visiting GP or the frailty support team depending on the presenting problem and availability.

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the list.

You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance. (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.
