How to make an appointment:
Appointments may be made by phone or in person at reception. If you have more than one medical problem, or feel that you may require a longer time to discuss a complex or specific issue with the doctor, please request a longer appointment at the time of booking. Please allow up to a couple of weeks to ensure the longer appointment is with the doctor of your choice.
Patients can ask to see their usual doctor and if their doctor is unavailable, our staff will offer you an appointment with another doctor or will make an appointment for you to see your usual doctor at the next available time.
If you attend the practice without an appointment you will be offered the next available appointment. Please be aware that this may not be with your usual doctor.
In an emergency, you will be seen by our nurse and assessed as to whether you should see a doctor as a priority or if you need to be sent to hospital.

- In person at the clinic
