We offer both pre-booked face-to-face and telephone appointments.
**Please ensure we have an up-to-date telephone number (including mobile number) at the time of booking to avoid miscommunication.
Up to 2 weeks in advance:
You can book appointments up to 2 weeks in advance if you need to see a particular GP who has been involved with your care. Please explain this to reception when booking.
Please, please call us and cancel your appointment if you cannot attend.
Within 24hrs
We have a number of routine appointments available for the same, or next, day.
If there are no face-to-face appointments left on the day when you call you will still be able to speak to a GP on the same day for advice. You will be offered telephone appointment with the Duty Doctor who will call you back within a specified time window and discuss the matter. If they cannot deal with the matter over the phone they can still make arrangements for you to be seen.
What are routine telephone appointments useful for?
Routine telephone consultations may be particularly useful if you are busy or work far away but need simple clinical advice or a follow-up with a particular doctor.
You may ask to see or speak to a specific doctor but if they are not in, you may be asked to leave a message with reception or book a telephone consultation with that doctor on the day when they are back.
Doctor or nurse?
You can book a nurse appointment for minor illnesses, cervical smear tests, dressings, stitch removal, ear syringing, family planning, general health & weight loss advice, child immunisations, travel vaccinations and urine sample testing.
