Appointments
Telephone (01382) 226673 between 8am - 6pm, Monday to Friday
All consultations are by appointment only.
Our receptionists are trained to help you as efficiently as possible; their task is often complicated by doctors and nurses having variable timetables. Please be patient and help them to help you by giving them sufficient information to process your request and allocate the appropriate resources to meet your needs.
Our practice endeavours to provide patient access to an appropriate Health Care Professional
within 2 working days. To enable the practice to meet patient demand we are currently reviewing
our appointment templates to ensure that clinical appointments either face to face in the surgery
or telephone consultations are being utilised to maximise patient benefit. Patients can book a doctors appointment up to 30 days in advance, if clinically appropriate.
In order to accommodate the demands made for appointments patients are therefore requested to contact the surgery on the appointments telephone number (01382) 226673 as early as possible on the day they wish an appointment.
All our nurse appointments are pre bookable up to two months in advance.
We will endeavour whenever possible to allocate the appointment with the doctor of your choice however this may not always be possible due to patient demands, holidays, etc.
We have three different types of appointment available.
