We will ask you questions about why you need an appointment and will sometimes direct you to an alternative healthcare practitioner – this may be a pharmacist, dentist, optician, or other local service.
We offer:
SAME DAY / EMERGENCY APPOINTMENTS
These can be booked from 8am and should be booked if you need to see a GP that day. Although there is a choice of doctors, we cannot always guarantee the doctor requested.
Children 16 years and younger will be see on the same day.
PRE-BOOKED APPOINTMENTS
You may book with a clinician of choice up to 4 weeks in advance. However, note that clinicians are sometimes away, which will impact the number of appointments available.
HOME VISITS
A Home Visit is provided when a patient who is house bound and unable to attend the surgery, or a resident in a care/nursing home are too unwell to attend the surgery.
OUT OF HOURS
Should you need to access to a doctor outside of surgery hours, please call NHS 111
