How the Practice Works.
The Surgery is a family practice providing NHS medical services under a Personal Medical Services (PMS) contract with North Somerset Primary Care Trust.

Seeing a Doctor

We provide general medical services and non-NHS medical services weekdays from 8 am to 6.30 pm.We can only deal with medical emergencies between 8-8:30am, 1-2pm and 6-6:30pm (Fridays 5:30-6:30pm). We are unable to make appointments until after 8.30am. You may be seen by, or request to see, any Doctor in the Practice.

Consultations

Consultations are by appointment only. Patients with special requirements may pre book for a limited period in advance.

Home Visits

Please call before midday for visits on the same day. Calls after noon will normally be put down for the following working day. The doctor will make home visits to patients who are unable to come to the surgery because of the severity of their illness or disability. Please note a child with a high temperature can be brought safely to the surgery where he will be seen more quickly and in a more suitable environment.

Test Results & Advice

If possible please call between 3pm and 6pm when the phones are less busy. Please say if you are calling for results and do not assume that a result is normal because you have not heard from us. You may also call NHS Direct at any time for general medical advice on 0845 4647 or online at www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk.

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions may be ordered by post, emailed to TLS.Scripts@gp-L81044.nhs.uk, handed in at the reception or placed in the prescription boxes. Please tick the items you require on the list attached to your last prescription. If you would like us to post the script back to you please include a S.A.E with your request. Please order in good time and allow 2 working days before collecting. The doctor may, at times, wish to review your medication and will therefore need to see you in the surgery. Please also note that in order to safeguard all those involved, requests for repeat prescriptions cannot be taken over the phone and may not be collected by minors.
