About our Appointments

Patients can book appointments up to 4 weeks in advance.

To book an appointment you can use our Online Services or telephone and speak with our receptionists.

Book an Appointment

  • All weekday appointments can now be booked in advance.
  • Please tell the receptionist if you wish to see a particular doctor.
  • Our normal doctor appointments are 10 minutes. If you would like to discuss more than one problem, please book a double appointment.
  • Please note that patients will not always be able to see their preferred GP as they may not hold surgeries every day or they may be absent from the practice e.g. on annual leave.
  • We send text reminders to our patients regarding their appointments. Please ensure that you provide us with your current number.
  • Please book a separate appointment for each member of the family who needs to see a Doctor, Nurse or Health Care Assistant (HCA).
