Verwood Surgery offers a limited number of additional doctor appointments outside of usual opening hours. This provision is to help patients who are unable to attend the surgery during normal surgery hours.
These appointments are for routine matters only and must be booked in advance by contacting reception during normal surgery hours. Please be aware that follow up appointments, nurse and phlebotomy appointments will generally need to be arranged during normal surgery hours.
The extended surgery appointments are available as follows:
- Monday 18:30 hours to 19:00 hours
- Tuesday 18:30 hours to 19:00 hours
- Wednesday 18:30 hours to 19:00 hours
- Thursday 18:30 hours to 19:00 hours
Home visits and urgent problems during these times will continue to be handled by Out of Hours service on 111
It is hoped that this service will benefit those patients who previously have had difficulties in attanding appointments during normal surgery hours. We ask that if you can attend surgery during normal surgery hours you continue to do so if at all possible.
