APPOINTMENTS
- Text Messages - If we have your mobile phone number, and you have not opted out, you will now be sent a text reminder the day before your appointment at the surgery. If you no longer require the appointment, please telephone reception on 01329 664231 and cancel it. This system should reduce the number of missed appointments which are currently around 35 each week.
- Extended Hours - We have appointments outside the normal working day ie Alternate Monday evenings from 6.30pm - 7.30pm; Friday mornings from 7.40am - 8am and one Saturday a month from 8.30am - 11.30am.
Book Appointments Online - If you have not yet done so, register at reception to book your appointments online. Emis Access will show you 4 available appointments for each Doctor and you can book the one that suits you. Appointments for the Nurse and HP Sisters still have to be made with reception.
Exercise Referral Scheme - If you meet the selection criteria, take little or no exercise but are prepared to change, you can be referred to Fareham Leisure Centre. You will undergo an assessment with a personal trainer and be recommended a course of suitable exercise at a reduced fee. Ask the Nurse or Doctor if you qualify during your next appointment.
Waste Medicine - Each year in England over 500 tonnes of unwanted medicine is destroyed. To help us to reduce waste, please only order what you need and ask for unwanted medicines to be removed from your repeat prescription slip.
Automated Arrivals System - Checking in for your appointment is now done on a touch screen in reception, which will direct you to the correct waiting room.
