contactMaking Appointments & Telephone Consultations

  • Appointments for the doctor or nurse are bookable up to a week in advance and are available both mornings and afternoons Monday - Friday.
  • The appointment interval for doctors is 10 mins. If you need longer eg to discuss a number of problems then please ask the receptionist for a longer allocation.
  • Whilst a proportion of appointments are bookable in advance (up to a week) we reserve some for later release ensuring availability.
  • The Practice recognises patient choice with regard to requests for an appointment with a specific GP, however this is on the understanding that 48 hour access rights for routine appointments are waived.
  • In the unlikely event of the surgeries being fully booked, the receptionist may enquire about the nature of the problem. You are, of course, under no obligation to disclose this information. However, please bear in mind our receptionist is there to help you and can arrange for you to see an appropriate but alternative health professional . If this is not suitable the receptionist will speak to the duty doctor to clarify your need and arrange for either telephone advice or indeed organise a time when you can be seen.

We are optimistic that over time we will get the right balance of appointments and provide you with a responsive and efficient service .
