Appointments

How to get an appointment

All visits are by appointment, booked by phoning reception; calls are triaged to prioritise urgent cases, which are seen the same day. Standard slots are 10 minutes, so ask for a longer slot for complex issues and mention any specific service (medicals, cryotherapy, immunisations) when booking. Non-urgent callers are asked to avoid the peak times of 09:00 to 10:00 and 14:30 to 15:30. Flu and Covid vaccine clinics can be booked online.

New patients

New private, medical card and GP visit card patients living in the practice area are welcome. Phone the surgery to register; forms are completed in person or sent by email, and a check-up appointment may follow, especially for patients on regular medication.
