The practice offers a range of GP appointments to suit all requirements:
If you have a list of problems it may not be possible to deal with all of them at one appointment and the GP may ask you to make a further appointment. Please ensure you raise the most important issue first.
Routine Appointments - Can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance for GPs and up to 6 weeks ahead for Nurses.
Same Day Appointments - Released at 8:00am every day on a 1st come 1st served basis. There are a limited number of appointments so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that every patient who calls will get an appointment. These are not emergency appointments but just extra appointments released each day. For urgent matters please see "urgent appointments" and "triage consultations" below.
Urgent Appointments - If you have an urgent problem that you feel needs medical attention the same day Reception staff will take your details and you will be phoned by the duty doctor (see below). The duty doctor determines whether your problem can be dealt with over the phone or whether you require an appointment. The duty doctor will arrange the appointment for you. Urgent appointments should only be used to discuss the relevant urgent problem.
Early Morning Appointments - We offer a limited number of early morning appointments between 7.30am - 8.15am. These are released one week in advance and may be on any day depending on doctor availability. These appointments are aimed at those who have difficulty attending the surgery during working hours. There are no nursing or walk-in services at this time, therefore, some procedures may not be possible.
Evening Appointments - We offer a limited number of early evening appointments. These are released one week in advance and may be on any day depending upon doctor availability. These appointments are aimed at those who have difficulty attending the surgery during working hours. There are no nursing or walk-in services at this time, therefore, some procedures may not be possible.
