Appointments
The practice operates an appointment system for both morning and evening surgeries. Please telephone for an appointment or book on line (register for this service at reception) before you attend the surgery:
- 01964-542155 for Leven
- 01262-488234 for Beeford
Please note appointments can be booked up to 28 days in advance.
The length of time allocated for your appointment is 10 min so the doctor will only be able to deal with 1 or 2 problems at a time. If you feel that you may need a longer appointment please ask the receptionist.
Children under 14 years of age should be accompanied by an adult. Please book a separate appointment for each member of the family.
We do make provision for medical emergencies when an appointment is requested on the same day. This may entail waiting but do inform the receptionist if you feel too unwell to wait. These consultations are for urgent problems only and the doctor will not have time to discuss routine matters.
Practice Nurses
Our practice nurses run clinics from 08:30 - 11.00 and 16:00 - 17:45, both at Leven and at Beeford, by appointment. They can give advice about many matters, including dressings, ear syringing, immunisations and foreign travel injections etc.
Trained and highly skilled nurses run our specialist clinics in Coronary Heart Disease, Strokes, Asthma, Diabetes and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Cervical smears/well woman checks and family planning checks can be done by a nurse. Please tell the receptionist when making an appointment that it is for a smear test. Similarly, well man checks or blood pressure checks are also available. Please ask at reception for further details.
Telephone Consultations
If you feel your problem could be dealt with over the telephone rather than by attending the surgery you can book a telephone consultation.
Cancellations
If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
