We may ask the nature of the appointment so as to facilitate appropriate appointment times.
Attendance is by appointment only.
Please telephone or use the appointment request on this website to arrange your consultation. For routine visits we usually require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice, however during busy times, routine appointments may not be available for 4-5 days. Appointments are scheduled to be 15 minutes in duration. If you think you will require extra time we would appreciate it if you could let reception know at the time of booking. We will do our best to facilitate you.
Emergencies (during normal hours)
Not all visits to the doctor can be planned in advance. We reserve a small number of appointments every day for medical emergencies. Please inform our reception staff if you feel you need an urgent appointment, and we will do our best to facilitate this.
Please bear in mind that our phone lines are very busy at this time, so if you cannot get through, please try again. Please call 999 for an emergency.
