The doctors offer telephone appointments, allowing the offer of patients being contacted by the doctor at a specific time. This is suitable for patients who wish to discuss results, prescriptions, or any other matter which does not require an examination.
When booking a telephone appointment a suitable appointment time and phone number will be arranged. The doctor will contact you around that time though this may be up to 30 minutes before or after the scheduled time.
If you cannot make the appointment, please let us know well in advance.
EMERGENCY appointments are offered every day for those patients who have a medical problem which can’t wait for the next routine appointment. You may not always be able to see the doctor of your choice. These appointments should NOT be used to obtain repeat prescriptions or sick lines.
Please remember that any appointment is for one single patient, and we cannot see or discuss other members of the family in the same appointment.
Routine appointments are for 10 minutes – if you feel you require more time, please let the staff know in advance as double appointments can be made.
