During the COVID pandemic

All appointments are bookable on the day and are telephone triage first, with a doctor or nurse. The clinician will advise you if you need to come to the surgey for a face to face appointment.

You will be given a time for your telephone call but this is an estimate and we ask you to allow 2 hours either side of this.

If you are booking via Patient Access the GP will call you between 8.30am - 1.30pm for a morning call and between 1.30pm - 8pm for an afternoon call. For Saturday calls it will be within a 2 hour window of the time slot you booked.
