Making an Appointment
-
If your problem is medically non-urgent we would encourage you to submit an online request through our website. A doctor will review your request and get back to you within 2 working days. You will receive a phone call, text or email in response to your enquiry from the most appropriate person. Please note, it may not always be a doctor who answers your query.

- Visit the surgery and speak with a receptionist. We are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 6.00pm
Urgent Appointments
We are now running an urgent hub at the surgery for patients with urgent conditions requiring on the day treatment.
To access this service please telephone reception with details of your symptoms which will enable them to direct you to the correct clinic. If appropriate this will be the urgent hub.
Patients attending the urgent hub will be asked to come and sit and wait to see a GP.
Please note this is NOT a walk in clinic.
Cancelling or changing an appointment
If you cannot make your appointment let us know as soon as you can so another patient can book the appointment time. You can cancel or change your appointment:
- Use the NHS App to cancel an appointment.
- Use SystmOnline to cancel an appointment.
- Phone us Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 6.30pm
- Visit the surgery and speak with a receptionist. We are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 6.00pm
If a patient arrives more than 10 minutes late, then they have missed their appointment. If the missed appointment is routine or non-urgent, then the patient will need to rebook. This prevents delays to the GP/nurse sessions and to ensure fairness for patients who have arrived on time. If the missed appointment is deemed medically urgent, then the receptionist will take some details regarding the nature of the problem and the patient will need to rebook a new urgent appointment either with the original clinician or the on-call doctor.
