How to book an appointment

Accessible Information Standard

It is a requirement of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 that our patients receive information in a way they can access and understand.
If you have any information or communication needs we would like to know so we can help meet those needs.
For example, we want to be sure that you can read and understand information provided to you during medical appointments or in writing.
Please tell us if you need information in any other format than standard print or if you have any special communication requirements.

To book an appointment call us on 0300 123 1892 or call into Reception. Routine appointments can also be booked on-line, please see our appointments page for more information.

Named Accountable GP

From the 1^st April 2015 all patients registered at the Practice will have a named accountable GP. This does not mean that you have to see this specific Doctor nor does it mean that you will always be able to have an appointment with your named GP. Your Doctors name can be obtained from reception.

However, if you have travelled from China or been in contact with someone confirmed as having Coronavirus in the last two weeks, you may be at risk of Coronavirus.

Out of Hours

The accident unit is NOT always the right place to treat your condition. In a medical emergency please contact Kingsbridge Medical Practice as your first port of call. We will often be able to accommodate or advise on emergency medical problems urgently within a few hours of contact.

When the surgery is closed you can still dial our telephone number and you will be redirected to the NHS 111 service run by Staffordshire Doctors Urgent Care. Your details will be taken and you will then be directed to the most appropriate service for your symptoms. These include:

the GP Out of Hours service where you will be offered advice, an appointment or where appropriate a home visit.
An out of hours pharmacy
The 999 emergency service for an ambulance

You can also dial 111 directly to access the service
