Appointments
All GP appointments are all booked via our ‘telephone first’ system. Your initial appointment will be a telephone consultation with a doctor. We will then discuss your concerns over the phone and book a face-to-face appointment if needed. You do not have to be available for an appointment that day – we can also book you in to evening or Saturday morning appointments if more convenient for you.
Many medical issues and follow-up appointments can be dealt with over the phone and prescriptions can be sent to a pharmacy near you saving you from traveling to the practice. If you prefer to see a GP face to face please let the doctor know this when you are speaking to them.
Appointments are available to book from 7pm the night before online or by phoning reception from 8am the day you need a call. As this is a busy time at the practice we encourage patients who can to use the online system and leave the phones available for other patients.
Nurse appointments can be booked in advance directly through reception.
If you are phoning for advice about results or referrals please avoid our busy time and call later in the day after 10am or register on-line.
