Clinics

Each person is largely responsible for their own state of health and many serious conditions can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle without the need for drugs and treatment.  The Doctors and Nurses will always be ready to offer help and encouragement in health promotion.  We offer a comprehensive range of healthcare services in the Practice.

 

Appointment System

 

When phoning for a GP appointment, call on the day the appointment is required.  The Reception Staff will ask for a brief description of your current illness or reason for the call, as this ensures they can direct you to the most appropriate service.  There are a variety of appointment types and Reception will offer you the most appropriate type.

 

Nursing and Phlebotomy appointments can be pre-booked, in normal circumstance we also offer a walk-in Phlebotomy service every weekday morning from 9.00am until 12.00pm, but this is not running currently.

​

Most of our GP appointments available are on the day, to allow us to be responsive to patient need.

​

For patients for whom work commitments make it difficult to attend, we have pre-bookable appointments at 8.30am, 8.40am and 4.50pm, again these are not running while we deal with the Coronavirus pandemic
