Welcome to Albany House Surgery

Dr Hamilton and Partners welcome you to the new Albany House Surgery website. Whether you are a current member of our patient family or a potential new patient, we thank you for visiting today. This virtual space has been designed exclusively for you. We cannot wait for you to see all of its exciting features! The reception area is an excellent place to start your journey. In a hurry or cannot find what you are looking for? Try our powerful search bar! Why not request your first prescription online, request a self referral or book an appointment at a time that is convenient for you?

Connect with us in a new innovative way and let us make queueing on the telephone line a thing of the past!

We have tried to make our site as user friendly as possible but we understand that computers and the internet can be daunting for some of us. Do you have a friend or relative who would benefit from using our virtual site? Do you feel that they may need a little extra support do so? As well as the help that you may be able to offer them, there are courses run locally that may also be useful. Try the age UK link below for more information. Learn-My-Way is also a great resource. Here you can find free online courses to help you learn more about computers and the internet.

NHS App

Owned and run by the NHS, the NHS App is a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet — including prescriptions and appointments.

Alert

Welcome to Albany House!

We continue to offer the choice of face to face, online, video or telephone consultations. Please help us by choosing the most appropriate type. 🙂

The number of appointment requests have risen to record levels recently – three times the number of phone calls we had before the pandemic! Please be patient with us – it may take longer to get through to the surgery. We are doing our absolute best.

DO NOT ATTEND THE SURGERY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING A WARM COAT AND AN UMBRELLA WITH YOU IN CASE THE SURGERY WAITING ROOMS ARE FULL. ☔️🌦

If you have multiple problems to address in the 10 minute appointment, you may be asked to book a further appointment. We are contacting people with long term conditions by birth month to offer a review.

Opticians, Physiotherapists and Pharmacists can give advice and treatment within the Community, so make sure you get to see the right person, at the right time, in the right place.
