Practice news
Extended Hours - Evening Surgery Times
We offer extended hours on Tuesday & Thursday
These evening sessions will be for pre booked routine appointments . We hope that they will be of great benefit to those patients who find access difficult during our core hours of Monday to Friday 08.30 am-6.30pm. We would like these appointments to be used predominatley by full time workers.
We cannot afford to have wasted appointments. Please make sure you cancel unwanted appointments. We have taken a rather stricter view of this problem. If you fail to attend for an appointment without explanation ,please expect to recieve a letter, or it may be mentioned to you by the GP .Please help us to run the best service for you . Wasted appointents make everyone wait longer to be seen.
A & E Attendance
Please think carefully before you go to A & E . Many things can be dealt with by your GP during the week and the Out of Hours service at the week end. Also available the Minor injuries Unit at Sevenoaks Hospital which also sees minor ailments .
Only serious issues should go to A&E . Call an ambulance for chest pain , heavy bleeding, vomiting that resembles coffee grounds, falls and suspected fractures, sudden collapse - loss of conciousness.
