Appointments

Appointments with the GP are bookable on the day. Please call or visit the surgery at 8.00am for a same day appointment.

You can also register with the practice to book appointments Online; please ask a member  of staff for more information.

You must have a booked appointment to see the doctor. Due to time constraints and high demand, we have a one person one appointment policy.                                    

Telephone Consultations

Are available for patients, who would rather speak to doctor over the telephone, for example an urgent, private medical matter that a routine GP appointment cannot be undertaken.

Cancellations & Lateness

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, 1 hour's notice is required in order not to receive a Did Not Attend letter (DNA). 

Please attend your appointment on time. If you are more than 5 minutes late you may not be seen. It will be at the discretion of the clinician.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP.

You can also request a visit by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
