Appointments

Consultations are by appointment.

Appointments can be made personally or by telephone.

The doctors consult between the hours of 08:40 – 12:30 and 14:00 – 17:30 each weekday.

If you need an urgent appointment you will be seen that day, but not necessarily by your usual doctor. Please let the Receptionist know you need to be seen urgently (give reasons where possible to help us assess when you can be seen along with other waiting patients).

IN CASES OF EMERGENCY you will always be seen on the same day.

Please bare in mind if you cancel an appointment later than 2 hours before the time of your appointment we will treat is as ‘did not attend’.

When our doctors consult

Appointments outside these times are available on request for those who cannot attend during core hours.
