Appointments

The doctors operate a 10 minute appointment system. We endeavour to see all patients within 48 hours of a request, but need to balance this demand with appointments bookable further ahead.

Please phone before 9.00am if you want to be seen on the same day.

Always inform the receptionist if you consider your problem to be urgent and you will be fitted in.

Telephone Appointments

The doctors deal with minor problems or give advice through our telephone appointments system. The doctor can contact you at a prearranged time and, if there is a need for you to be seen, the doctor will make you a face-to-face appointment.

If you think your problem can be dealt with in this way, please ask the receptionist for a telephone appointment.

If you are unable to attend an appointment

Please let us know so that we can reallocate your time to another patient. Failing to arrive is a waste of the doctors’ and nurses’ time.

Home Visits

If you are too ill to attend the surgery, then please telephone before 10.00am and a doctor will call you back and arrange a visit if required.
