GP's run an appointment system for both doctors and nurses. There is set times for these appointments,. We will attempt to provide appointments at times that suit your schedule, however this may not be possible at all times. You can make an appointment by telephone or by coming into the surgery. You will be offered an appointment with a doctor/nurse but we cannot guarantee that it will be with a doctor/nurse of your choice. Please ask for more than one appointment if you require more than one patient to be seen. Any annual check ups can be arranged with a nurse.
Consultation time is precious - if you have a few problems to discuss, please ensure you book a double appointment. Please ensure you cancel any appointment which you are unable to attend.
