Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
Please attend your appointment on time, if you are late you may not be seen. If you are not seen you will not be able to rearrange your appointment until the next working day-except in the event of an medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
In January 2024 we have had 91 people not show up for their appointments. This equates to 15 hours and 10 minutes of clinical time wasted that could've been used if they had been cancelled beforehand.
If you require an interpreter for your appointment, please notify the receptionist and they will arrange this for you.
We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.
To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.
Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.
All of the GP practices within Lincolnshire are working closely with local pharmacists to support you with certain minor health conditions. It may be more appropriate to have your NHS consultation with a pharmacist instead of the GP practice.
The pharmacist consultation will be confidential. Pharmacists are highly skilled healthcare professionals who have trained in medicines and can give health advice and help you manage your condition. If treatment for symptoms is required, the pharmacist may suggest an over the counter medicine.
If the pharmacist thinks you need to see another healthcare professional, they will help arrange it. With your consent, the pharmacist will ensure your medical record is updated with the outcome of your consultation.

For seven common conditions, your local community pharmacy can now provide treatment and some prescription medicine, if appropriate, without the need for a GP appointment. Highly trained pharmacists can now assess and treat patients for urinary tract infections (women aged 16-64), earache, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, and sore throat.
Community pharmacy teams have the right clinical training to give people the health advice they need, with no appointment necessary and private consultations available. Community pharmacists will signpost patients to other local services where necessary. Don't wait for minor health concerns to get worse – think pharmacy first and get seen by your local pharmacy team.
Simply walk into your nearest community pharmacy or alternatively we can refer patients for an appointment. For more information, visit www.nhs.uk/thinkpharmacyfirst
