Calling for Appointments
Patients calling to make an appointment can call between 8:30am and 18:00pm however, where possible we ask that patients ring between 8:30am to 1:00pm Monday to Friday.
Calling for Prescriptions
Repeat prescription requests can only be made over the phone between 11:00 to 1:00pm. Don’t forget that you can also order your prescription through the NHS App or by emailing somicb.mmcprescriptions@nhs.net. Written requests can still be made through using the post box in the waiting room.
Self Referral to Midwife
Self refer your pregnancy to the Somerset Midwife NHS service. It provides a single point of access for all maternity referrals in the Somerset area. The aim is to make sure you have access to the right care from day one. Somerset will triage your referral based on the information you provide and the hospital will contact you to start your antenatal care. In the meantime if you are worried about your pregnancy, please tell your GP straight away.

Calling for Test Results
Test results received at the surgery are processed in the morning and are available to patients after 2:00pm. Please note that test results can also be accessed via the NHS App.
Translation service
If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced. This service is usually provided digitally rather than a translator attending in person.
Chaperones
Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.
Policies
Please ask at Reception if you would like to see a copy of one of our policies.
