How To See Your Doctor

Consultation is by appointment, made when the Surgery is open, either in person at reception or by telephone.

The Doctors encourage patients to see their own GP but are happy to be flexible at your request. Urgent cases will always be seen the same day, although it may not be possible to see your own Doctor in these circumstances.

  Please let us know if you cannot keep the appointment.
  Please don't squeeze in other people to your slot.
  Please don't bring multiple problems to the one appointment.

We are required by the Government to keep the majority of appointments free for booking on the day of the appointment.  Most of these can be booked at 8.30 am, with an additional number available at midday.

Each Doctor also has about 30 appointments each week which can be booked up to three weeks in advance.  Appointments start at 8.30 am, and are available until 6 pm.  On two evenings each week, appointments are available until 8 pm, preferably for patients who are unable to attend during normal hours.

Each Doctor has up to 16 telephone appointments each week, for advice.  These can be pre-booked up to 3 weeks in advance.  The Doctor will telephone you, usually after the end of morning surgery.

The Nurses at the Practice have appointments for contraceptive advice and prescriptions, HRT prescriptions, and certain injections.

If you have any questions about the appointment system, please speak to our Practice Manager.
