We offer increased access to pre-bookable routine appointments with GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals from 9:00am – 1:00pm on Saturday mornings at Helme Chase Surgery. 

These appointments can be booked in advance for routine medical matters, they subject to availability and the reason for your appointment. 

Our Doctors are happy to see patients at home who are housebound or too unwell to attend the surgery.

We ask that any requests for home visits be made by 10.30am if possible, this helps our clinicians plan their day. 

This is only available to patients within our catchment area which can be viewed here under ‘Practice Boundary’

If you wish to be accompanied by a chaperone for any consultation, examination or procedure please let a receptionist or the doctor or nurse involved know when booking the appointment. If there is no chaperone available, you may be asked to re-schedule your appointment.

Please attend your appointment on time, if you are late you may not be seen. If you are not seen you will not be able to rearrange your appointment until the next working day-except in the event of an medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

If you no longer need your appointment, please let us know at the earliest opportunity:

• Contact us online
• Cancel via the NHS App
• Call us on 01539 718080
• Cancel by responding to your appointment reminder message 

Releasing this appointment back into the system will mean it is available for someone who really needs it.

If you require an interpreter to attend with you when you see your Doctor, the interpretor service requires a weeks notice for bookings. Please contact us on 01539 718080 option 1 and we will happily arrange this for you.

Medical examinations for special purposes such as pre-employment, fitness to travel, elderly drivers, fitness to undertake sports etc., will require longer than a routine appointment.

These examinations do not form part of NHS Services, you will be charged for any such examination. Please inform the receptionist when arranging such appointments.
