We operate a 48-hour appointment system whereby you can see a healthcare professional during that time. We also still have pre-bookable appointments for those patients needing continuing care, and for people who work. (We will endeavour to provide a doctor of your choice but this will not always be possible). Urgent cases are seen on the day. Telephone consultation appointments are available for blood test results and other queries that can be dealt with over the phone. Our practice nurses do have triage appointments for minor ailments eg sore throats, earache etc.
