  • Seriously unwell
  • Babies and infants
  • Elderly or very frail patients
  • Experiencing a worsening of a long-term medical condition

Emergency doctor

If you need to speak to a doctor in an emergency, inform the Receptionist who will pass your details to the duty Triage Doctor as soon as possible.

Home visits

Patients who are housebound may request a home visit. Please ring before 11.00 am to request this service.

Types of GP appointments we offer

All our face-to-face appointments with a doctor (GP) are normally 10 minutes long; if you require a longer appointment  for a medical or DVLA examination, please inform the receptionist when you book. If you wish to cancel an appointment for any reason please let us know as soon as possible.

Phone consultations with a doctor

Many medication queries and questions about general health and minor illness can be discussed with your doctor over the phone without the need to come to the Practice. Also, many blood test results (e.g. cholesterol) can be discussed in this way. To book a phone appointment call 01865 311811 or book online.

Advance booking (routine) appointments

Most of our doctor appointments can be booked with the doctor of your choice. We are usually able to offer patients the choice of booking at least one month in advance, if not more. Please note that online bookings can only be made up to three weeks in advance. To book a routine appointment call 01865 311811 or book online.

Same-day booking (urgent) appointments

A small number of same-day appointments are available for more urgent problems. Please note that these are intended for people who are acutely unwell. These appointments can only be booked over the phone and in order to assess the urgency of your problem you may be asked a few simple questions by the receptionist.

College surgeries

If you are a student at New College or Hertford College you can see a doctor in college during term-time, or you can book an appointment at 28 Beaumont Street in the normal way.

Emergencies

In a real emergency dial 999 for an ambulance. In a less severe emergency call us on 01865 311811 and inform the Receptionist that the problem is urgent. She will inform the duty Triage doctor who will speak to you as soon as possible.

For medical advice outside our opening hours call the Oxford Emergency Medical Service on 0845 345 8995.

Managing your condition at home

Most minor illnesses including common colds, flu, diarrhoea and vomiting illnesses can be managed at home. Advice on managing many common illnesses is available at any time from NHS Direct on 0845 4647. Alternatively, if you would like advice about a minor illness but feel you do not need a face-to-face appointment you can book a phone consultation with a doctor.
