Evening and Weekend NHS Appointments

Evening and weekend NHS appointments are now available in the new OxFed Evening and Weekend GP Clinics, located around the Oxford City area, including Botley, where you can consult with a NHS GP, practice nurse, or other health professional. Appointments are booked by calling our Practice reception who can advise if the service is suitable for your needs. For more information about opening times and all clinic locations please see the OxFed Website

Home Visits

Home visits are for patients who are infirm and housebound and therefore unable to attend the surgery. Transport to the surgery should be arranged if possible, by a friend, relative or taxi.

Patients are requested to come to the surgery for a consultation as full facilities are available for tests and treatment and you will be seen sooner. If you require a home visit, please telephone before 10.30 am. The receptionist will request details regarding the nature of the visit and your name will be put onto a triage list for a doctor to call you back.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

What is Choose and Book?

Choose and Book is a new service that allows you to choose your hospital or clinic and book an appointment with a specialist. 

Since summer 2004, Choose and Book has been introduced across England. It will eventually be available to all patients. 

From 1 January 2006, when you and your GP agree that you need to see a specialist, you will be able to choose from at least four hospitals or clinics. You will also be able to choose the date and time of your appointment.

For more information see the Choose & Book NHS Website

GP Training

The practice does have visiting medical students a few times each year. The receptionist will tell you if there is a student with the doctor.

If you would prefer to see the doctor without the student present, please tell the receptionist.
