Appointments

The admin staff will ask questions in order to ensure they book patients with the correct clinician, which may not always be a GP. You do not have to give this information, but it will help you and other patients to be seen more quickly and to get the right care when you need it. Your first contact will then be a triage phone call with a clinician. 

GPs & Advanced Nurse Practitioners 

We offer both same day and advance booked appointments. If a patient wishes to see a specific GP, they may have to wait longer.

Children under 16 with an acute condition will be seen the same day.

Any patients clinically triaged as requiring urgent assessment will be offered a same day consultation (which may be face to face or by telephone)

In addition to that, our Advanced Nurse practitioners, who are trained to degree level in acute care can treat and prescribe for a range of conditions.
