Important information
GP appointments are up to 15 minutes. We will try to see you the same day if possible. However, if your doctor is fully booked you will be offered another day or an appointment with one of the other doctors.
If your problem is urgent please explain to the receptionist, she may ask you to talk to the nurse.
All emergencies will take priority and appointment times are approximate. An additional fee may be charged for complex or longer consultations. If you have a number of issues to discuss on the same day, please book a double appointment. Double appointments will be charged a double fee.
