Doctor’s surgeries run from 08:30 – 11:30 in the mornings. In the afternoons they may vary from 14:00 to 15:00 and usually finish at 17:30. Odd surgeries may be created at different times. If you have more than one problem please book a double appointment with the doctor to ensure both problems may be seen.

Please ring and cancel any appointments if you need to, leaving plenty of time, so that those appointments may be given to the appropriate people who otherwise may have to wait. If appointments are not attended repeatedly practice may issue warning letters.

Urgent/Emergency Appointments

We offer on the day emergency appointments at 8 am for the morning and 1pm for the afternoon.

Private work :

All relevant paperwork should be passed directly to the practice secretary. Please note it takes 2-4 weeks for the same as private work is done by GP’s in their own time .

Minor Aliments :

For normal colds and coughs a pharmacist would be the most appropriate first point of call. Please try and not book doctors’ appointments for a cold , these appointments can then be of help to other Seriously unwell patients to be seen .

Telephone Appointments

On occasions you may need to take advice from doctors but don’t need to actually see them. Telephone consultations are specifically for that reason; again please ring as early as possible so the doctor can ring you back to discuss your problem.

We endeavor to complete all morning telephone calls by 1pm and afternoon call by 18:30 . if you are unavailable at a certain time let our Staff know.

Hospital Referrals

The practice is operating a “Choose and Book” system on most occasions where the patient is given a choice of a convenient date, time and place for their initial appointment. Information will either be given to you at the time of referral or you will receive such information in the post.
