Appointments

The doctors and nursing team normally consult Monday to Friday.  Apart from clinic appointments which can be booked in advance the practice offers  face-to-face appointments and a triage appointment system – where patients initially speak with a clinician by telephone as follows:

Mornings            

Doctors triage calls from 8.00-11.00am and have scheduled appointments from 11.00am until 1.00pm.  House calls are scheduled from 11.00am onward.

All requests for care, urgent and routine are triaged by an appropriate medical professional.

Other clinicians including nurses consult from 9.00am-1.00pm

Afternoons         

Triage begins at 2.00pm and finishes at around 4.00pm after which time doctors have face to face appointments until 6.00pm

Other clinicians including nurses consult from 2.00pm-5.30pm.

Patients are requested to inform the practice if they cannot keep an appointment so that it can be offered to another patient in need.

PLEASE NOTE

• One patient per appointment please.
• Due to patient confidentiality the doctors are unable to take patients telephone calls during surgery consultation times.
• We will at all times try to accommodate a patients request to speak to a clinician of their choice but in some instances this may not be possible.
• Children under 16 years of age that need assessment after triage will be offered an appointment on the same day.
