Appointments

Appointments are available between 9.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

You can make an appointment by telephoning or by coming into the surgery. Routine appointments may be made in advance to allow you flexibility. Emergency appointments are only available on weekday mornings.

If you cannot keep an appointment please let us know. This will mean that another patient can be offered your slot.

Emergencies

If you are confronted by a serious problem such as severe chest pain or severe bleeding call an ambulance (tel: 999) before calling the surgery. We have a full out-of-hours cover service. Cover is available between 08.45pm and 09.00am during the week and at all times at weekends. If you telephone the surgery you will be put straight through to the deputising service.
