Types of Appointments

Routine Appointments
Please use these for non urgent problems or to follow up a pre-existing condition. In order to provide continuity of care, it is generally best to book with the GP you saw originally. These appointments may be booked in advance but you may need to wait a few days to see your preferred GP.

Urgent Appointments
If you need to see a GP urgently you can book into the daily Duty Surgery. We may not be able to offer a choice of appointment time or GP. These appointments are designed to cater for one urgent condition and will be slightly shorter than a normal consultation. Please make a routine appointment to discuss non urgent conditions.

Telephone Appointments
You can pre-book a short telephone consultation with a GP to discuss test results or medication reviews and follow ups. The GP will contact you within 30 minutes of the agreed time.

Appointment Length

Our routine appointment system is based upon a ten minute consultation. If you feel that you require a longer appointment to discuss more complex issues, please mention this to the receptionist.

Home Visits

As a general rule, we would prefer to see patients in the surgery, where more comprehensive examinations can be undertaken. Short journeys are not usually harmful in cases of fever or acute illness.

However, if you are housebound and need medical attention, home visits are available.

Please telephone before 11.00am to book a home visit. It is possible that the GP will contact you by phone initially to discuss the problem. Routine visits are made between 1.00pm and 3.30pm daily.

In an emergency situation please dial 999 for an ambulance.
