Appointments

Appointment System

We offer both telephone and face to face appointments. Please ask the receptionist which form of appointment you need or have been advised when contacting us. 

Please arrive promptly and remember to cancel your appointment if you can no longer keep it; someone else may need to see the doctor urgently.

If you have more than one medical issue to discuss, please make a double appointment with the GP.

Nurses’ Appointments

The nurses can be seen for blood pressure checks, cervical cytology, dressings, ECGs, health screening, suture removal, travel advice and vaccinations. They are also responsible for specialised clinics for asthma, coronary heart disease and diabetes.

 

 

Blood Test Appointments

Due to increasing demands on general practice, we are no longer able to offer blood appointments for blood tests requested by the hospital. Please arrange these via the hospital.
You can book a blood test at your local hospital using the link below.
