Appointments
Monday 8.00 am to 7.30 pm; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8.00 am to 6.00 pm; Wednesdays 7.30 am to 6.00 pm. The surgery is closed between 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm.
Please remember that all the doctors are not available every day but if the doctor of your choice is not available you will be offered an appointment with one of the others. Doctor and nurse appointments are prebookable up to 4 weeks in advance.
Where patients require an urgent appointment on the day, once all the prebookable times have been taken, your details will be passed to the Duty(Triage) Doctor who will discuss your problem with you and organise the most appropriate service to help you.In order to assist the Duty Doctor the reception staff may ask you for brief details of the nature of the urgent problem. Please make sure that we have your up to date contact details so that the Duty Doctor can get back to you easily. Sometimes the matter may be resolvable by telephone consultation otherwise a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner appointment may be required.
Urgent Appointments
Requests for same day appointments should be made at 8.00am. You will be offered an appointment time but may be placed on the Duty Doctor's triage list in which case you will be contacted by the doctor prior to that time in order to discuss the problem and facilitate the best way of helping you. You may be asked to give a brief reason for your appointment which helps decide the most approriate appointment type for you. On most days one of the practice nurses offers 'minor illness appointments,' which may be offered as an option to you.
