To ensure emergency and urgent calls are given priority, please phone after 10-30 am if you wish to make an appointment

GP Appointment times

The majority of doctors’ appointment slots are from 8.30am to 10.10am and from 4.00pm to 5.20pm. Each slot lasts 10 minutes each. Between these two periods, the doctors assist the duty doctor by seeing emergency patients, catch up with administration and conduct home visits.

We aim to operate up to six weeks worth of appointments at any one time. Please be aware that our receptionists are only able to book the appointments that are free on the computer – they are not at fault if some of the doctors are not available. We understand that this can sometimes be annoying, but please do not take your frustration out on them. Please treat them with the same courtesy and respect that they show you.

Commuter Clinics

These clinics are aimed at patients who find it difficult to access a surgery during normal working hours. The reception is open Wednesday evenings ( 6pm - 7:30pm) and Saturday mornings ( 9am - 12pm) to register your arrival, collection of prescriptions and booking (in person) future appointments. The Surgery telephone lines will not be open during these Commuter Clinics.

PRE-BOOKABLE appointments are available for these clinics on Wednesday evenings ( 6:10 pm - 7:00pm) and Saturday mornings ( 9am - 11:20pm).

Longer appointments

If you are booking for a (company or insurance) medical, a minor surgical procedure, cervical smear or are aware that you will need more than the normal 10 minutes allowed in an appointment slot, please inform reception at the time of booking and they will allocate a longer appointment time.

One person - one slot

Please remember that each appointment time is for one person only – if other members of your family also need to be seen, please book an appointment slot for each of them.
