What to do when
we're closed
Please
telephone 01689 850012 at all times. Our out of normal hours
calls are handled by the duty doctor at EMDOC. This is a
local GP Cooperative run by Bromley Primary Care Trust (PCT)
and is substantially staffed by local GPs. You may speak to
a Doctor or Nurse for advice or may be asked to attend their
base next to the Accident & Emergency Department at The
Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough.
For General
advice you can also speak to a Nurse at NHS Direct on 0845
4647 or visit their website by

Home Visits
If you feel
that you need a home visit then please telephone before
10:30 am so that we can plan our day. It helps us to judge
the urgency of calls if you describe your symptoms so expect
to be asked by our Receptionist.
Please remember
that a surgery consultation is more effective than one at
home. We really appreciate it when patients come to the
surgery rather than ask us to visit, as we can see more
patients and will see you sooner. Please try to attend
whenever possible. If you have no transport please try to
find a friend or neighbour to bring you. Home Visits are
done by the duty doctor and it is not possible to request a
specific doctor for a home visit.
If you are not
sure if you need a visit, it may be helpful to speak to a
doctor on the telephone first. They are usually available
between 11.30am and 12.00 noon. Telephone consultations are
becoming increasingly popular and may save both you and the
doctor time.
