If you think you have an urgent problem which cannot wait until the next available routine appointment you will be offered a telephone consultation or an appointment with the nurse practitioner.
Routine Appointments
Consultations are by appointment only.
Please try to consult the same doctor each time for the same illness. Our receptionists will try to give you an appointment with the doctor of your choice. We will offer you an appointment with another doctor if they are not available.
If you would like to make your appointments online please download the NHS App or register for SystmOnline via the link at the top of this page.
The allocated time for face to face appointments with a GP is 15 minutes. Telephone consultations with a GP are 7.5 minutes; this is to ensure that the maximum possible number of appointments are made available each day. In some instances it can be challenging to adhere to the appointment timings, this can be due to an emergency taking priority.
The allocated time for nurse/HCA appointment is 10 minutes. This may via depending on the reason for the appointment.
Consultations are normally intended to review a single medical matter. If you feel that you may need more time with the doctor, please discuss this with the receptionist when initially making your appointment.
