Reception Opening Hours

Telephone Reception available 08:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday (except 13:00 to 14:00 Thursdays)

Appointments - Same Day or Book in Advance

We have divided our appointments into two categories: 'Same day' and 'Pre-bookable'.

Same day appointments are released at 8.00am each morning and enable you to telephone and see a doctor that day. We will endeavour to make the appointment with the doctor of your choice although that is not always possible.

If you wish to see a particular doctor or to make your appointment for a specific date then one of the pre-bookable appointments may enable you to plan your visit accordingly. However, with the doctors' other NHS commitments, this may mean booking a little way in advance. If your own doctor is unavailable please do not put your health at risk by unduly delaying your appointment.

Appointment Times

We offer a range of appointment times every day starting at 08:00.  We also offer some pre-bookable appointments outside of our normal opening times, specifically to try and assist those who have difficulty in attending during normal opening times. Please ask at reception for details.

Express Clinic

We also have an 'express clinic' every morning for all minor ailments, and these appointments can be booked on the day (from 08:00) and start at 08:30.

Telephone Advice

We provide a telephone consultation service. Please ask the receptionist for details. 

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability and are always at the discretion of the doctor.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

A rash or temperature does not prevent patients coming to the surgery and will not endanger others.  Simpl;y tell the receptionist on arrival at the surgery. 

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

The Surgery                                               

The building is purpose built with consultation rooms located on two floors and two separate waiting rooms.

On arrival please book in at reception on the ground floor using our automated arrivals system.  This will confirm which clinician you will be seeing and inform you of the appropriate waiting room to use, the Ground Floor or First Floor.

When the doctor or nurse calls you to the consulting room your name and the number of the consulting room will be displayed on the electronic patient information board in each waiting room.

Some examinations that patients have to undergo can cause embarrassment and anxiety, and patients may prefer to have someone else present.

Following guidance from all the professional bodies, we will be offering and encouraging the use of chaperones in appropriate situations. You may decline the offer of a chaperone although in some circumstances the doctor may feel that a third person should be present and will discuss this with you if the need arises.
