Appointments

Consultations are by appointments only and are for approximately 10 minutes unless otherwise requested.

Routine appointments should be made by telephoning or calling at the surgery.

The receptionist will offer you the next available appointment, usually within 24 hours but if you feel the problem you have is urgent, please tell the receptionist.

Urgent cases and particularly sick children will be seen on the same day, although not always by the doctor of your choice.

Practice Nurses

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many conditions and you may be seen more quickly.

Telephone Advice

The most convenient time to consult your doctor by telephone for advice is between 11:30 and 12:00 on weekdays. You may have to wait if the doctor is busy.

Results

Please phone to ensure your results are available before coming back to see the doctor.

Cancellations

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
