Appointments
Appointments can be made by telephone on 01263 712461 or at reception in any of the three surgeries. Routine appointments can be booked for the current week and the week ahead for those who need to book in advance.
For urgent appointments where you need to be seen on the day, you will be offered the 'assessment team'. The team will provide telephone consultations, appointments with the minor illness nurse practitioner or a doctor. In most cases the nurse practitioner will be able to deal with your problem herself but if necessary, will have a doctor available to see you. Wherever possible we try to offer everything you need in one visit.
Appointments are available mornings and afternoons, five days a week between:
8.40am - 12.30pm and 2.00pm and 5.40pm
Extended Opening hours
To improve the service offered to patients, we offer routine evening GP appointments at Holt Medical Practice.
These evening clinics are not intended to provide emergency appointments but to extend availability to those who cannot easily access our existing hours. To offer you more choice we will be open between 6.30 pm to 8 pm.
Two doctors are available on a rotating basis and therefore not all doctors will be available for every evening surgery. These appointments can be booked in the normal way.
Please note the dispensary will not be open for the collection of repeat prescriptions during these hours.
The Out of Hours Service remains the same with the telephones being transferred to this service at 6.30pm.
When you arrive at the surgery
Always notify the reception of your arrival at the surgery and if you have waited over 15 minutes after your appointment time, enquire about the reason for the delay. If you cannot attend your appointment, please telephone to cancel it so that the appointment can be offered to another patient.

How to request a Home Visit
If you feel you are too ill to travel to the surgery, you can ask for a home visit. If possible please contact the surgery before 10am to arrange this. The receptionist will need information about the problem and a contact telephone number. This means that our medical team can decide the urgency of your condition.
Children who are ill can usually be brought to the surgery where they will be seen as soon as possible.
