DOCTORS

APPOINTMENTS AND WHAT WE OFFER

The Surgery offers a range of appointments to our Patients and responding to questions and queries and comments from this website we decided to list for ease of reference what we offer. If you think we can improve on this we would be pleased to hear from you.

1. Routine Appointments - Can be made with any doctor in advance.

2. Open Access surgeries mean that patients dont need an appointment and can attend between 8.30am -10.00am On designated days -(see appointments for times and locations of open surgeries).

3. Urgent / Emergency appointments - Patients can see a doctor on the same day if needed by contacting the practice and requesting an emergency appointment. Reception staff will take your details and a doctor will contact you and make appropriate arrangements with you.

We understand that patients who like to see a particular doctor and can't get an appointment for weeks in advance. We hope you understand that patients are registered with the practice and not individual doctors, whilst we understand individual perference if a particular doctor has poor availability this is because they are simply already booked by patients who share the same perference. We can always facilitate other appointments if you need to see a doctor.
