if you have a minor condition please visit your chemist for advice.

The easiest way to get help is to call us between 08.00 am and 9.30 am. The receptionist will ask you about your problem - this helps us get you the right help more quickly. If you can't get through at 8 am please try a bit later - we normally still have slots up to 9.30. If 'phoning is inconvenient you can send us an patchs. You can also call in to the surgery to ask for a phone appointment.

A GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner will ring you in the morning to give you advice, and if they need to see you they will ask you to come in to the surgery.

If you arrive 10 minutes or more after an appointment time you may be asked to re-book your appointment as the doctor or nurse may be unable to see you. If you are unable to attend or think you will be late, please cancel so another patient can use your appointment.

Home visit are only possible if you are housebound and deemed necessary by the doctor.   

We might book you an extended hours appointment at Belle Vale, or at Childwall Fiveways Health Centre, South Liverpool Treatment Centre, Abercromby Family Practice or Townsend Lane Neighbourhood Health Centre between 5pm and 9pm Mon to Friday.
