How do I... Make An Appointment?
Appointments may be made by telephoning the surgery on 0161 681 1818 or by
coming into the surgery. Routine appointments may be made well in advance (maximum
12 months), which will enable us to offer you an appointment at a time more suitable
to your requirements. If you cannot keep an appointment, please inform us as
soon as possible as this will assist in over-subscribed situations.
How do I... Obtain A Home Visit?
Patients are requested to telephone before 10.00am if a visit is required
that day. Emergency visits only will be arranged after that time. Please give
the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate
priority to house calls. Please remember that several patients can be seen at
the surgery in the time it takes to do a home visit.
How do I... Obtain Test Results?
Test results and letters from local hospitals have to be checked by the doctor.
Therefore please telephone for results in the afternoon. Some tests take longer
than others. Your doctor should be able to give you an idea of how long you are
likely to wait.
