Surgery Opening Times
These timings include emergency slots and telephone consultations.
Our appointments system is intended to help provide you with the most appropriate nurse or doctor service to meet your medical needs. Unfortunately it is not always possible to give all patients the appointment of their choice all the time. We do however aim to provide a mix of:
- Same day appointments
- Pre-bookable appointments, up to one month ahead
- telephone consultations
Doctor and Nurse Consultations are generally 10 minutes. Should you require a longer appointment slot please inform reception on booking.
