Routine appointments may be made by telephoning the practice or by calling in to reception. Most appointments are ten minutes long but five minute appointments are also available. Most routine appointments are booked up to one week in advance. Some clinics, such as the cardiac clinics or diabetes clinics are an exception to this.

Reception staff are available to make appointments by telephone between 8.00am - 12 noon and 1.30 - 6.30pm. Appointments can be made at reception throughout the day.

Consultation Times

Consultation times vary for each doctor and nurse.

Doctors are generally available in the morning and late afternoon, although lunchtime and late evening appointments are available.

Touch Screen Booking-in

When you arrive for your appointment, you do not need to queue for the receptionist to book you in. There is a touch screen at the front desk which will allow you to check in for your appointment by entering a few details.
Please note that you need to follow the on-screen instructions carefully to ensure you are checked in. Patients arriving late may be directed to the receptionist. If another patient with the same date of birth has an appointment near your appointment time, you may be asked to see the receptionist to ensure you are correctly checked in.

Telephone CONSULTATIONS

You can now book an appointment to talk to a doctor or nurse at a specific time. We have set up this service to give our patients more flexibility. You can arrange to speak to a doctor or nurse when at work or unable to leave the house, for example if you have childcare difficulties.

If you think your consultation could take place over the telephone, please ask reception for a telephone appointment. You will be given a specific time, usually either late morning or early afternoon.

Please note that these consultations are not suitable if there is any reason for the doctor or nurse to examine you. They are also not suitable for routine prescription requests or for new sick certificate requests.
