Urgent appointments

If you need urgent (but not emergency) primary care our 'Duty' team (GP and one or two Advanced Nurse Practitioners ) are available during practice core hours. Calls to Reception needing same day attention will be called back by one of the Duty team in the first instance, in order to discuss with you the best way to assist with your problem. 

For any medical emergency - whatever time of the day or night - call 999.

Nurse clinics

The times for these varies but the days for specific clinics are shown on the 'Surgery and clinic times' tab

Minor Injuries Unit

For everyone - not just Wilson Practice patients - who has suffered an injury in the last 48 hours that needs medical attention

Monday - Friday                8.00am - 6.30pm

Outside of our core hours

When the surgery is closed and you require urgent medical assistance which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens, call 1-1-1. Calls to the NHS111 service are free from both landlines and mobiles.

NHS111 will take details from you and signpost to the most appropriate care given your condition. This could include providing contact with the out-of-hours GP service, advice on self-care or to visit a pharmacy, or to make a routine or next-day appointment with a GP.

Nurse Clinic Times

Our highly experienced nurse team run Minor Illness appointments every day for childhood and adult conditions such as rashes, sickness, infections, earache, cystitis. You can be booked into one of these on-the-day appointments following a telephone call with the Duty Doctor or Nurse.  Our nursing team also runs a wide range of clinics for people with long term conditions, and for those needing immunisations, well woman and health check services.

In addition to the dedicated clinics below, The Wilson Practice (and the other local practices) also run nurse clinics as part of our early morning/later evening initiative with the A31 Group of Practices.  If you wish, you can book to see a clinician at any of the practices via our reception team.  You need to consent for that person to be able to access your medical records.

Emergencies

How do I get emergency help?

For chest pain, major bleeding, loss of consciousness or difficulty breathing dial 999.

Major injuries such as head injuries and broken bones should go to an Accident and Emergency Department at one of the local hospitals in Basingstoke, Frimley, Guildford and Winchester.  Alton Community Hospital does not have an Accident and Emergency Department.  NHS 111 (tel: 111) can offer phone advice at all times, and may save you a trip to a doctor or hospital

At the surgery: during core hours (Mon-Fri 8am - 6:30pm)

Our phone system offers "press 9 for emergencies". This is for casualties and urgent medical care that does not require hospital A&E facilities and should be answered quickly. The receptionist who answers your call is not medically qualified; she will put you through to a GP who will decide with you what needs to be done. If you can get to the Health Centre we will always see emergencies as a priority. If you cannot get to us, we will try to get to you; we always have a Rapid Access doctor able to visit at short notice. Please only use this service if it is truly an emergency - 'crying wolf' could take us away from a real emergency.

When we are closed

When the surgery is closed and you require urgent medical assistance which cannot wait until the surgery re-opens, call 1-1-1. Calls to the NHS111 service are free from both landlines and mobiles.

NHS111 will take details from you and signpost to the most appropriate care given your condition. This could include providing contact with the out-of-hours GP service, advice on self-care or to visit a pharmacy, or to make a routine or next-day appointment with a GP.
