The Boulevard Medical Practice - Doctors surgery opening times and what to do when we are closed

Noticeboard

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME! We are registering new patients. If you live out of our catchment area you may still be able to register as an Out of Area Patient if you do not expect to need home visits. Out of Area patients need to call 111 to arrange visits as they are not provided by the practice.

MAGAZINES - Thank you to everyone who brought some in for us! Please feel free to drop off any in the future that are suitable for our waiting room.

OUT OF HOURS - CALL 111 if you need medical advice or assistance anytime the practice is closed. All calls are free to this number. CALL 999 immediately if the problem may be life threatening at anytime.

PRIVATE WORK - Please note that anything that is not NHS contracted work can take up to four weeks to complete as the doctors must give priority to all NHS work. This includes some forms that are required for the Council. Fees are charged where appropriate for private work. If you do need something done please contact the Patient Services team to find about about the charges. A GP appointment is NOT needed if you need to have forms or reports done. Charges can be paid by card over the phone and must be paid before the work is undertaken.
