Appointments

To book an appointment

To speak to the Doctor, you may book, or cancel, a telephone or Face to Face appointment through Online Access or via the NHS app.  Our receptionists will help you to register if you need help getting online. 

Please note that the telephone time slot you book will not necessarily be the precise time of your telephone appointment, it depends on how busy the surgery is.  However, if you book an appointment in the morning you will be contacted by the GP before 12 noon, alternatively if you book in the afternoon then you will be contacted by the GP before 6pm that day.

One appointment is for one patient.  If other members of your family need to see the Doctor, please make a separate appointment for each of them.

You may also book telephone appointments for elderly relatives who do not have access to the internet.

Wear a mask during a Covid epidemic or if you have a respiratory complaint

Please bring a mask with you if you are invited to come to the surgery, during a Covid epidemic, or if you have a respiratory complaint, so that others are not infected.

Interpreter

If you require an interpreter with you when you see your Doctor please notify the receptionist and we will arrange for the GP/Nurse to be aware of this.  We now use a telephone interpreting service which should mean it is quicker and easier to arrange an appointment and this also means there will not be someone else in the consultation with the GP or nurse.

When Should I See a Nurse?

The doctor will arrange for you to see our Nurse for blood tests.  Our receptionist will also help you to book your Cervical Smear Screen, Children’s Immunisations, and annual reviews for Asthma and Diabetes. 

Nurse clinics are held by appointment on Wednesday from 08.30 – 12.30.

Mobile number

Keep your mobile number up to date with us.   We will send a out text reminder of your appointment.
