Our phone lines open at 8:00am every morning Monday to Friday for on the day GP appointments. We offer face-to-face, telephone and video consultation appointments. You will be asked for some details by the receptionist handling your call, so they are able to signpost you to the most appropriate healthcare professional. We receive a high volume of calls at this time and calls are automatically placed into a queueing system. Please remain patient and your call will be answered as soon as possible by a member of the reception team.

Please remember one appointment is for one person and one condition only. If you are presenting with multiple problems, please let the receptionist know so they can book an extended appointment for you. If another member of your family also requires medical attention, please make separate appointments.

Alternatively, our eConsult service allows you to send your medical request through to the surgery online, for a GP to triage within 48 to 72 hours.

Sometimes your ailment can be dealt with by another healthcare professional. Our reception team are trained to signpost you to the most appropriate service to ensure you receive the best possible treatment. For more information, please see our health advice page to help you decide whether a GP appointment is necessary.
