Making Appointments

Seeing the doctor

Morning surgery runs from 8.30 to 12.00 each day, afternoon surgery from 2.00 to 6.00.

On Monday evening there is a further surgery between 6.30 and 7.30. These appointments are intended for those patients who find our normal opening hours difficult due to work commitments etc. If you wish to book one of these appointments, please contact Reception.

In addition to the routine appointments, there is a duty doctor available each day to deal with emergencies.

To make an appointment, please telephone reception.

You will also be offered the opportunity to make an appointment to have a new patient health check with one of the Practice Nurses.
