Appointments
We operate an appointment system that offers appointments that can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance, we also keep a number of appointments available that can only be booked on the day these are released at 8 a.m. Same day appointments are intended for patients who feel that their problem is urgent and who cannot wait for a routine appointment.
Appointments are given at 10 or 15 minute intervals depending on your GP. As consulting days/times vary for individual doctors please check the availability of your preferred doctor with reception when making your appointment. Nurse appointment times may vary depending on what your appointment is for.
Making An Appointment
To make a routine appointment, please telephone or call in during opening hours, for a same day (urgent)appointment please call at 8 a.m.

Make the most of your appointment
Doctors spend an average of eight-10 minutes with each patient. Once you’ve got an appointment, plan ahead to make sure that you cover everything you want to discuss.
Before you see the doctor, write a list of problems, starting with the most important. List your symptoms so that you don’t forget them. Write down when they started and what makes them better or worse during a 24-hour period. If you have a complicated problem, ask for a longer appointment when you book.
Please Record that you have arrived
It is important that you use our self check in screen located in the porch to record that you have arrived. If a patient arrives after you but is called to see the doctor before you it is probably because they are seeing a different doctor. If you feel that you have been waiting too long, please speak to the receptionist to make sure that you have not been overlooked.
Delays Due To Emergencies
Unforeseen emergencies may occasionally delay the doctor, please be understanding as such an emergency could one day involve you or your family. We will do our best to provide up to date information if the surgery is running late for any reason.
Keeping Your Appointment
Please try to keep your appointment. If you can’t please tell the receptionist in good time to enable the appointment to be given to another patient. See also our service to you.
Finally, please remember that one 10 minute appointment is for one person only.
