Surgery Opening Hours

Opening Hours

The surgery reception  and phone lines are open between 8.30am and 6.30pm on weekdays.

The phone lines are closed between 1.00pm and 2.00pm for lunch but the surgery reception is open as normal 
The surgery is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and for various training sessions throughout the year (though there are of course procedures in place should you require medical assistance)

We are however working to improve access to appointments for our patients, in particular at evenings and weekends. If you would like to be offered one of these appointments, please ask. These appointments are being held at Poole or Wimborne Hospital.

Or alternatively use our e-consult service for non-urgent advice from our GPs https://orchidhousesurgery.webgp.com/

We also work in partnership with Livi, a GP service offering appointments via video consultation on your phone or tablet.  Appointments are available 7 days a week, including evenings.  Please ask a receptionist to book for you.

ALL CONSULTATIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT.

The appointment times are listed below.

We also offer extended hours through early morning and late evening appointments for those patients unable to come to the surgery during normal hours. Details can be found at the bottom of this page.
