Book In Advance
You may book up to 3 months in advance to see any GP or Practice Nurse allowing you to plan ahead or arrange time off work.
Book ‘On the Day’
50% of our appointments can be booked ‘on the day’ and become available from 8am. You can phone or call in at the surgery to book.
Book Online
A service allowing patients to book and cancel GP appointments online. Please contact the practice for details of how to register for this service.
Double Appointments
If you have several issues to discuss with the GP or think that you may require a personal examination, please request a double appointment. This will ensure that the doctor has adequate time to deal with your problems and will not keep other patients waiting
.
Patients with urgent problems will be seen on the same day. If the GP of your preference is not available you will be offered an appointment with one of the other partners. If you are unable to keep an appointment please let us know. Missed appointments not only waste the GP and other staff’s time but prevent another sick patient from seeing a doctor sooner.
Consent to Treatment of Young People
The practice conforms to the current legislation and recognises that any person under the age of 16 can give consent to any medical, dental or surgical treatment or procedure if in the opinion of the qualified medical practitioner the young person understands the nature and possible consequences of the treatment.
