Appointments

Appointments are released at 8.30am every day.

​

The fastest way to book an appointment is through online access. You can also make an appointment by calling the surgery. Waiting outside the surgery might make your symptoms worse. We strongly encourage you to book online or call for an appointment.

​

For non-urgent conditions, long-term conditions and medication reviews we recommend booking pre-bookable appointments which are available two to three weeks in advance.

​

Triage Telephone Calls

​

We also offer telephone assessments, where our duty doctor will call you to discuss your medical problem. They may ask you to come to the practice if you need to be examined. We also offer appointments that you can book up to three weeks in advance.

​

Appointment Availability

 

If no appointments are available, our receptionists may offer you an appointment at another practice. If this is not possible, they will recommend attending the walk-in centre.

Cancelling an appointment

​

If we have your up to date mobile phone number, we will send you a text reminder the working day before your appointment. You can reply to this text to cancel your appointment. You can also cancel your appointment using your Patient Access account.

 

Alternatively, call the practice to cancel your appointment as soon as possible to allow another patient access to medical support. 40 – 60 patients do not attend appointments without letting us know each week.
