Please note that from Monday 6th November 2006 The Crane Surgery changed to an appointments-only system. This means that if you want to see one of the Doctors you must first contact the Surgery and make an appointment, except if it's a real emergency. We will always see real emergencies on a same-day basis.
Surgeries |
|
|---|---|
| Monday | morning and afternoon |
| Tuesday | morning and afternoon |
| Wednesday | extended access/morning surgery/closed in the afternoon |
| Thursday | morning and afternoon |
| Friday | morning and afternoon |
Please note: The Extended Access surgery, which is held before normal hours on Wednesday mornings, is only intended for patients who cannot come during normal hours (eg. because of work commitments).
Wednesday is our half-day. On Wednesday afternoons urgent calls are covered by Dr Charlesworth on 01580 713622.
If you want to be seen on a same-day basis, and there are no appointments left, we will normally ask a Doctor to ring you back in the first instance.
The Crane Surgery is a training practice, so the Doctors will often have a GP Registrar (Trainee) or a student working with them, either seeing patients in tandem with them or separately.
If you require a home visit, please phone before 11.00a.m. if possible. If you require an urgent visit, phone Cranbrook 712260 any time.
If you need advice over the telephone, please call the Surgery. We will take a message and ask the Doctor to ring you back.
During the night, at weekends and on bank holidays, emergencies are dealth with by South East Health (formerly On Call Care), which is an on-call cooperative. Their number is 03000 242424; but if you call the surgery there will be an ansaphone message telling you what to do.
The Doctors provide minor surgery for certain problems; but if you are interested, please come to a normal surgery in the first place.
