Appointments

All consultations are by appointment only.

If you require to be seen urgently, please phone as early as possible and we will endeavour to give you an emergency appointment for that day.

Alternatively you may arrange to be telephoned by a doctor or nurse who will discuss the problem with you and then agree if and when you should be seen.

We would welcome any feedback about how we could improve our appointments system. To send a message via the website, follow the link in the menu at the top of the page: Contact Details.

How can I cancel a booked appointment?

If you need to cancel or rearrange any booked appointment please call either of our surgeries during opening hours to speak to a member of the reception team.

Appointments can also be cancelled and amended online using our Online Services Portal. This is available 24x7 so may be more convenient. Patients can sign up for our online services by calling or dropping into either surgery site and speaking to a member of the reception team.

Home Visits

If a patient is unable to attend the surgery because of being housebound, immobile or too ill to travel then a home visit may be made at the discretion of the clinician.

Requests for these should be made before 11am, if possible, so that the doctors & nurses can plan their day.
