Bridge Street Surgery - How to make an appointment to see your doctor or nurse at the surgery

Appointments - make them online!

We have moved to online appointments. This applies to all doctor appointments at Brigg Online appointments save our time and allows you to better choose an appointment with the doctor you want, when you want. The feedback we get for this is excellent. Please come in and register for this service at reception.

pen_on_diary Morning and Afternoon surgeries are by appointment. Appointments can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance.

You must ring to speak to a GP before coming down to the surgery, and an appointment will be made for you if appropriate. Patients arriving at the surgery will not be seen unless they have first spoken to a GP.

Friday afternoon surgery is mainly for acute problems which cannot wait over the weekend.

None of the doctors work every day in the surgery, as they also do other outside work. So although it is always possible to see the doctor of your choice, you may have to be flexible about the day and time.

Telephone Appointments

It saves carbon emissions and it saves time to 'see' the doctor on the phone. If you think your problem is suitable - please make a telephone appointment with the doctor of your choice and please be available i.e. not engaged or out - when we ring.

Chaperones

This practice routinely offers chaperones during examinations. If any patient wishes to have a chaperone or a family member present during any examination or procedure please ask. This may cause a delay in the doctor being able to carry out the necessary examination.

Home Visits

Doctor's bag If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00 if you require a home visit.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP.

Student Doctors

gp_and_student The doctors teach medical students, who are in their final year at Hull & York Medical School. These students will be based at the practice for 8 weeks three or four times a year. You will be informed if a medical student will be present during your consultation. Training new doctors is very important and we think our patients will enjoy and benefit from playing their part. If there is a particular reason why you do not wish to have a student present please let us know.

We should have under 65 flu jabs week commencing 6th of September and the over 65 flu jabs week commencing 13th of September. The appointments will be put on line for you to book as soon as possible.
