Appointments

Make an appointment by visiting our Consulting Room.

Locum doctors

It is sometimes necessary to get a locum to cover doctors or nurses when they are involved in administration, training or other matters.

Appointments System

All surgeries are run on an appointments system and appointments can be made by telephoning, calling into the centre or online. Telephone calls may be recorded for training purposes.

Appointments with doctors are 10 minutes long.

Non-urgent appointments

Requests by patients for non-urgent appointments to see a particular clinician on specific times/days are constrained by the requirements imposed upon clinicians to achieve centrally governed access targets, while offering appointments of safe and acceptable length.

Same day appointments

Children will always be seen on the same day if necessary. Adults who feel they need to be seen urgently are asked to understand that the receptionist will need to ask some questions in order to plan effectively. While you may have to wait, unavoidably, for ‘your doctor’, we stress that consultation with a doctor is always available for urgencies.
