Appointments

Ways to contact a doctor:
  1. Telephone Consultation
  2. PATCHS

Consultations

All sessions are by telephone only.

If the Doctor deems it necessary then they will ask you to come in for a face-to-face. You must attend appointments alone, unless accompanying a child then it is one parent/carer.

If you are signed up for the text messaging service you will receive a text confirming your appointment. It will say it is a phone call. This message is the same for all appointments. Therefore, if you know you have a face-to-face (such as a Nurse or Midwife appointment) please disregard the text.

Phone Consultations – if you need to speak to a doctor

Consultations are between 9am – 2pm & 4:30pm – 6:30pm every weekday.

To book an appointment for that day call at 8:30am that day.

To book an appointment for a future date call the surgery between 8:30am – 2pm or 3pm – 6:30pm.

Medication reviews are being done over the phone as well.
