Appointments

Pharmacy

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

You can request an appointment with a GP or NP by using our Accurx Triage Request Form.  

Your request will be assessed by the triage team.

You will then be offered an appointment to best match your clinical condition within a safe timescale. If you submit your form after 1pm and you believe your problem is urgent, please follow up your form with a call to the surgery. This is so we can find your request and highlight to the GP.

For all routine appointments with a GP/NP please complete the Accurx Triage Form.

If you are unable to do so then please telephone the surgery after 10am and the reception will fill in the form for you.

Practice Nurse and HCA Appointments

Register a Birth or Death

Appointments with a Registrar for birth and deaths can now be booked via The Council Customer Service Centre on 0344 800 8020. 

Patients can call between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and book their appointment to register a birth or death at the best office for them, at the earliest or most convenient time.

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.

If you need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10am.

• Telephone your surgery:
  • Elmham: 01362 668 215
  • Swanton: 01362 638 100
  • Toftwood: 01362 691 196

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.

You can 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.

As part of the Mid-Norfolk Primary Care Network, we offer appointments with GPs, Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals to enhance access to GP services outside the normal surgery opening times.
