Appointments

We do hold back some of these appointments and release them 48 hours before the appointment time. We do this to ensure that those ailments that are not urgent but require some intermediate attention can be dealt with.

General appointments can be made online including those that are released 48 hours before the appointment time.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

Online Services

You can book selected doctor and nurse appointments and request repeat prescriptions on line. Before you can do this you will need to come to Theale Medical Centre to obtain an authorisation letter containing your access details.

We regret that we cannot do this by post, telephone or email as you will need to bring some proof of identification with you such as a passport or driving licence.

Normally, collecting the access letter can only be done by the person on the letter unless you are a parent, guardian, carer or authorised by one of our resident doctors.

Having got your letter, please go to the web site to register. This same web site is also used for registration, booking appointments and requesting repeat prescriptions.

Please note that this is a limited service for general non-urgent appointments. Please ensure that you understand what you can and cannot make an appointment for by reading General Appointments and Minor Illness Clinic.
