Opening Times and Emergency Home Visits Surgery Open: Monday to Friday 8am-6.30pm Surgery Closed: The surgery is closed outside these hours (including weekends & Bank Holidays), however for emergency problems there will always be a doctor available. Just ring BAYCALL on 0845 0524999, which is a Morecambe Bay Primary Care Trust-run on call service that deals with patients from all over the Bay area. Appointment Times In the table below "Y" represents times when each doctor is available for appointments: Please note this timetable is subject to change due to commitments.
Home Visits The doctors are happy to visit housebound, elderly and terminally ill patients at home if there is a medical need for a home visit. Please tell the surgery receptionist as soon as possible that day, preferably before 10.30am and the doctor will then discuss your problem and decide where it is best to see you. Babies and children with any illness, fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, earache or a rash will be asked to be brought to the surgery and will be seen quickly. Adults with similar illnesses can also be seen quicker at the surgery. Home visits will be made only for medical grounds and not on social grounds, such as lack of transport -we do not do home visiting simply because there is no car, or because someone has had a drink and can't drive, we may ask you to order a taxi. Please remember 5 patients can be seen in surgery in the time it takes to do one home visit. Private Examinations Insurance and other private medical examinations are by appointment only. Please specify when booking. We charge British Medical Association recommended fees for non-National Health Service services (ie private), for example private sick notes and reports to private health insurance companies. |
