Contacting Us
Our staff are working very hard to answer phone calls but we are experiencing queues at peak times. To ensure those most in need can speak to us quickly, please only call the surgery to book appointments or if you require an urgent response to a query. Non-urgent queries can be emailed to our reception team at gbs.reception@nhs.net and you will receive a response within 7 working days.
Appointments
General Practice continues to see an increase in demand following the COVID-19 pandemic and we urge our patients to read the following advice before contacting us.
Please help us to support as many patients as possible by cancelling appointments which are no longer needed. Appointments can be cancelled online, by calling our reception team, or by emailing us at gbs.reception@nhs.net.
Should you have COVID symptoms, please be honest with the reception team regarding this. You will still be offered a face-to-face appointment should you need to be seen, but we will take additional infection control measures to protect staff and other vulnerable adults and children that might be visiting the surgery. As a healthcare facility, our staff are still subject to COVID testing and isolation rules, and a positive case not only puts our patients at risk, but places additional burden on the practice and takes staff away from providing primary services.
