SURGERY HOURSOur doors are open and phone lines activated at 8.00am.
Surgeries are strictly by appointment - Telephone 01634 843351 / 01634 843320The practice appointment system is designed to allow people to book appointments both up to four weeks in advance and on the day. We will try our best to offer an appointment which is suitable for you, but during busy times, this may not be possible. If the receptionist is unable to offer a suitable appointment, you will be given the opportunity to speak to the triage nurse on the telephone so that they can assess the situation and offer an appropriate appointment if necessary. We can provide consultations from 7.00am Monday to Friday and have a late night surgery on Tuesdays and Thursdays (by appointment only). We have a limited number of GP appointments available at lunchtime and our reception is open for prescriptions, queries and results. We would prefer patients to telephone, for anything other than an appointment, after 2.00pm. Emergencies If you want your doctor in an emergency, dial the normal surgery number (01634) 843351 during surgery hours for an urgent appointment. Visits must be requested by 11.30am. Outside surgery hours telephone Medway Doctors On Call on (01634) 891855. NHS Direct is a 24-hour nurse-led helpline on 0845 4647.
