Making an appointment

Starting the 10th of January 2023, we have changed our way of requesting/ booking appointments; we are encouraging our patients to use our new online consulting tool for all medical enquiries.  After an online medical enquiry has been completed, A named Triage GP will triage   and we will offer a face-to-face appointment or a telephone consultation as clinically indicated.  

ONLINE CONSULTING

If this is an urgent request please contact us on our main numbers 01223 845185 or 01223 845185, or ring 999 if life threatening.

 

Problems booking online appointments?

If there are any problems accessing our online consulting portal, please contact the administration team by telephone on 01223 361611 / 01223 845185

 

Booking an appointment with the Doctor

If you wish to speak to a doctor or nurse for advice, please Complete an online medical enquiry form.

Each doctor and nurses' appointment is 10 minutes. If you have more than one thing to discuss with the doctor it is important to ask for a longer appointment. We are very sorry when surgeries run late and this is often unavoidable in an emergency. However, if the appropriate appointment is booked delays may be avoided.
