Sickness certificates (fit notes)

Travel vaccinations
Information and advice for travelling abroad.
Home visits
Please do not request home visits via our online services.
Home visits are to be requested if you are housebound or too ill to attend the surgery. A housebound patient is defined as being an individual who is unable to leave their home environment due to a physical or psychological illness.
An individual is not housebound if they are able to leave their home with minimal assistance. Each patient would be assessed to determine their eligibility for home visits by a qualified GP.
If you require a home visit from your doctor, please call before 10am.
- Telephone: 01993 702911
Please be prepared to give information to our patient services team to help us to determine the urgency. A doctor may sometimes call you first before visiting to determine whether a visit is the best way of addressing your problem.
Change or Cancel an Appointment
If you are unable to attend your appointment, no longer require it, or would like to reschedule, please contact us. Your appointment can then be used by another patient.
To cancel your appointment:
- Phone us on 01993 702911
- Cancel using the GP online system

Life Threatening
Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- you or someone you know needs immediate help
- you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Urgent But Not Life Threatening
Visit an urgent care centre if:
- You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention
Non-urgent
Use NHS 111 if:
- You need help now, but it’s not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
