|
| Appointments |
|
All patients are seen by
appointment. |
|
|
The doctors at this practice work as a medical team, so patients are free to see any doctor. We would however encourage patients to see the same doctor consistently where possible. Please check the surgeries that each
particular doctor holds - see
here>> |
|
|
The practice operates
an an advanced access appointment system. In order to accommodate this we would request that where possible patients phone for an appointment on the day. |
|
|
Same-day appointments are always available. |
|
|
Prebookable appointments are also available and can be booked four weeks in advance. |
|
|
If patients are unable to attend their appointment they are requested to inform reception. |
|
|
Patients are requested to arrive for their appointment on time. If a patient arrives late it may not always be possible to be seen and may require that the appointment is re-booked. |
|
|
In addition to this, all of the doctors have a daily slot for telephone appointments (an appointment held over the telephone). |
|
|
Telephone appointments can also be made with the practice nurse. Please ask our reception staff. |
