How to make an Appointment:

All consultations are by appointment only.

Our aim is to enable our patients to obtain an appointment within 48 hours.

Routine appointments are an average of 10 minutes duration and can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance.

The routine appointments are for chronic problems, non-urgent problems or medication reviews.

In addition we have daily appointments for urgent problems which need to be dealt with on the same day. These appointments are for single problems only. You may not be able to see your preferred Doctor.

We would ask you to ring as early as possible in the day after 8.00am to book an appointment.

Emergency Service: On Thursdays and Fridays afternoons we run an emergency service, with only one doctor available, for problems that develop that day and cannot wait. This is to allow the continued updating and training of doctors and staff.

When you arrive at the surgery for your appointment, use the self check-in system, or please report to our receptionist.

We are constantly monitoring our appointments to enable a better service.

Dental Problems:

If you have an urgent dental problem such as toothache or a dental abscess you should see a dentist not your GP.

If you have a regular dentist you should telephone them and arrange an urgent appointment. If they are closed there should be an answerphone message with the phone number of the local dentist covering emergencies. If you have trouble getting through call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.

Advice is available from dental advisors regarding all dental problems from the British dental health foundation (BDHF). Their contact details and web site can be found by clicking here.
