Appointments

All our requests for appointments are assessed by our team to enable you to see the correct clinician in the correct timescale. The team will arrange either a telephone or face-to-face appointment, depending on the appropriateness of the condition.

If you feel that your problem is urgent, you should tell the receptionist and every effort will be made for you to be seen the same day.

Telephone appointments

Telephone appointments are not timed slots, so for the morning the clinician will ring between 8:30am to 1pm and in the afternoon is 2pm to 6:30pm. Please let us know if you are restricted within these times and we do our best to accommodate. The clinician will only try you twice, and then the appointment will need to be re-booked. Please make sure we have an up-to-date contact number at all times.

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

To request a home visit, please call 01670 713 021 between 8:30am and 11am.

Home visits are generally conducted by our Paramedic or Advanced Nurse Practitioner, and are reserved for patients who are truly housebound and too ill to visit the surgery.

Common conditions in children (fevers, coughs, etc.) and adults (cough, sore throat, etc.) typically do not warrant a home visit, as they can be transported by car. Elderly patients usually have family who can assist them in getting to the surgery. Lack of transport is not a valid reason for a house call.

The Cramlington Hub is a joint collaborative service for all our Patients on behalf of Forum Family Practice, Netherfield Surgery and The Village Surgery.
