Beechwood Medical Centre

Appointments

We run all our surgeries by an appointment-only system. Appointments can be booked by telephoning the surgery, visiting the surgery in person or online.

We try to make sure you see the doctor of your choice but if they are not available we may ask you to see another doctor.

You need to register to use our online appointment booking service and this is best done in person at the surgery. Please speak to one of our receptionists.

Home visiting

If you are too ill to come to the surgery and you require a visit at home, please call the surgery before 10.00am. Home visits take up more of a doctor’s time than a consultation in the surgery, so if you are mobile please come into the surgery to be seen.

Home visiting hours are 12 noon – 3:00pm Monday to Friday
