Changes to Appointment Booking

The practice are making changes to the way the appointments system operates.  These changes will be implemented early next year.  Keep posted for more information on how this will affect you.  Details will also be available in the surgery late December 2009.

Welcome to the Ashfield Medical Practice Website

Through this website we hope to improve our services to all our patients and enable you to find the information required at the click of a mouse.  You can download registration forms, cancel existing appointments, change your name and address and much more.

You can find out information about medical conditions and diseases through our patient information leaflets as well as keep up to date with all the latest practice news and developments.

We are always looking to improve our services so please leave some feedback on our contact page.  We hope that with your help and co-operation we will be able to make this website a better portal for all your online needs.


CHANGES TO APPOINTMENT SYSTEM

EFFECTIVE FROM 11 JANUARY 2010

  • There will be NO Duty Doctor Available
  • There will be NO 10am appointment release     
  • Telephone lines will be open from 8:30am for all Appointments & Enquiries
  • Doctors will not have a specific house call day
  • As a result of the above changes, more appointments will be available
  • Thank you for your patience during the transition between appointment systems


SWINE FLU  

If you have either been in close contact with a confirmed case of Swine Flu or have recently travelled from an infected area within the last 7 days and are feeling unwell with 'flu like' symptoms, please contact us by telephone initially, rather than come directly to the Practice.  This will help us with infection control in the Practice and allow us to help you appropriately.  Thank you.
