Appointments

Consultation is by appointment. Patients presenting without an appointment will be fitted in at the earliest available time. Urgent medical matters will always be dealt with promptly. Please “check-in” with a reception on your arrival to avoid an unnecessary delay in the waiting room. 

Whilst every effort is made to keep on time for appointments, this can sometimes be difficult due to emergencies, walk-in patients or unexpected long consultations. To help schedule appropriately, please inform our reception staff if you require a longer consultation, and what it may be for. Cancellations If you are unable to keep your appointment, please phone the practice prior to your appointment to cancel or reschedule. This will allow your appt time to be allocated to another patient.

Walk-in appointments

Walk-ins will be allocated the first available consultation, which may require some waiting. Emergencies will be attended to immediately.
