Urgent appointments
If you are unwell and require an urgent appointment, please call reception and we will arrange the most suitable appointment. For an EMERGENCY appointment on the same day, please try to explain what’s wrong with your health. If it’s a genuine medical emergency we will make sure a clinician will see you same day. Please remember all chest pains to call 999.
Please note cough or cold, or flu or blocked ears, or sick note are not an emergency.
Routine appointments
We can book you in advance to suit your requirements with any clinician. If you have Learning Disabilities, are vulnerable, a carer or have been in the armed forces we will make reasonable adjustments to suit your needs. Please let the receptionist know of your needs to help us support you.
Please make sure that you arrive on time for your appointments as if you arrive late the clinician may be unable to see you.
Your appointment
However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:
- By Phone or Video call
- Face to face at the surgery
- Or in extended access in the evening or weekend at other places
Appointments by phone can be more flexible and often mean you get help sooner.
