Due to the Coronavirus pandemic we are not offering bookable face to face appointments with doctors or advanced nurse practitioners.

You can book a telephone appointment online or by calling reception.  If the doctor/ANP needs to see you they will make an appointment for you to attend the Surgery.

Although you will be booked into an appointment slot for your call you should be available to take a call at any time during the day. 

Please be prepared to accept a call from an unknown or withheld number

When calling to book an appointment you may be asked by the receptionist for a brief description of the problem.  This is to ensure we schedule your appointment with the most appropriate clinician.

Home Visits

Patients are asked to telephone before 10.00am if a visit is required that day. Emergency visits only will be arranged after that time.

You may only request a home visit if you are:

• Housebound OR
• Too ill to visit the practice

Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

Please attend the surgery if at all possible.

Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to home visits.

Book Your Appointment Online

Routine appointments are available to book online within the next four weeks.

A number of on the day appointments are available to book online before 8am each day.

We have increased the number of online appointments that are now available and these include GP, Advanced Practitioner, Practice Nurse, Phlebotomist (blood takers) and Health Care Assistants.  Please do check to ensure you are booking an appointment with the appropriate clinician (details are on the online appointment booking screen)

You will need a username and password to book an appointment. If you have not already been issued these for repeat prescription ordering purposes then please bring in a form of photo identification to obtain your username and password from reception.

Parents/guardians can obtain the username and password for their children under 11 years of age by bringing in a form of their own (the parent/guardian's) identification.
