Appointments

The practice makes every effort to see urgent cases on the same day. Requests for routine appointments are offered 2 working days in advance (you need to call the surgery at 8am when the phone lines open for the best chance of booking an appointment).

You can make an appointment with any doctor at the practice. Currently, you will initially be given a phone appointment; a clinician will call you and book you a face to face appointment if required.

Sometimes you will not be able to see the doctor of your choice at the time you want, however another doctor in the practice would be pleased to see you if he/she has appointments available.

Weekday early morning and evening appointments are offered here or nearby. Please contact the practice for appointment availability.
