Dr Bernadine Sharma GP Peterborough UK: Personalised Healthcare You Can Trust

Dr Bernadine Sharma GP Peterborough UK provides dedicated, professional healthcare for individuals and families across the community. From registration to follow-up, we guide each patient with clear communication and respect.

Dr Bernadine Sharma GP Peterborough UK: How to Access Our Services

Some services are available without registration. However, you must register with us to see a GP. For this reason, early registration is recommended.

If you wish to speak to the doctor, please contact the practice first. Walk-ins are not always seen and may be asked to return.

Furthermore, if your condition requires tests, your GP will clearly explain the process and next steps. Some tests happen at our practice; others are arranged externally.

Appointments, Cancellations and Consideration

Always attend your appointment at the scheduled time. If you are unable to, cancel in advance. Consequently, someone else in need can take your place.

Moreover, book one appointment per person. If the issue is complex, inform the receptionist. Therefore, we can book a longer session for you.

On the other hand, if you miss multiple appointments without cancelling, the practice may remove you from the patient list.

Prescriptions, Results and Referrals

If you need medication, your GP will give you a prescription. Take it to any pharmacy to collect your medicine.

Likewise, when tests are ordered, wait for us to contact you. Results take time. Hence, avoid calling until we reach out.

If a specialist is required, your GP will refer you. NHS specialists cannot be accessed without a referral.

Dr Bernadine Sharma GP Peterborough UK: Communication Support and Interpreting

If English is not your first language, we can provide an interpreter. However, you must request this in advance.

Additionally, if someone calls for you, ask them to mention the need for an interpreter when booking.

Mutual Respect and Helping the Practice

We treat patients with dignity and kindness. Likewise, we ask that you treat staff and doctors respectfully.

Furthermore, update your contact details when they change. This ensures we reach you with important information.

Although the practice is often busy, we always aim to answer your calls quickly and efficiently.

Additional Support When We’re Closed

Pharmacists can help with colds, coughs, and minor illnesses. Similarly, optometrists handle eye concerns.

See a dentist for dental issues and use podiatry for foot care.

If we are closed, call our number. You will be redirected to the Out of Hours service. Alternatively, call NHS 111, available 24/7.
