Opening Times

During the week the telephone lines are open from 08:00 - 18:30 and the surgery is open from 08:00 - 18:30 for patients to make appointments, pick up prescriptions and for general enquiries.

We keep both our surgeries open over the lunchtime period for our patients’ convenience, although it may be necessary occasionally to close for an hour or two for training purposes.

These vary according to who you need to see.

A on-line booking system is also available, you will need to register to use this service, registration forms are available from reception.

Practice Opening Times

Extended Opening Hours

For your convenience pre-booked appointments are available between 18:30 and 20.00 at either Broadstone or Corfe Mullen, although you may not be able to see your own GP at these times. There is also a Saturday surgery twice a month, usually at Broadstone on the 1st Saturday of the month and at Corfe Mullen on the 3rd Saturday, these may change. These surgeries are for routine appointments only and designed to help people who are unable to come in during the week because of work or other commitments. Please consider whether you need one of these special appointments as they are limited. Extended hours appointment slots must be pre-booked, there is no emergency provision during these special clinics.

When We Are Closed

Under the New GP Contract your local Primary Care Trust is responsible for your medical service ‘out of hours’ (18:30 - 08:00 weekdays, all weekend and on bank holidays).

If you require urgent medical attention or advice that cannot wait until the surgery is open, please call NHS 111 - by dialling 111

For non-urgent health information or advice, you can also contact NHS 111

Alternatively you can call your normal surgery number and the above numbers will be given to you via answerphone – please have a pen/paper ready.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  Click here for more guidance.
