How to make an appointment
All appointment requests are first triaged by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP). They will call you back within the morning, and an appointment will be arranged if necessary. These telephone triage appointments are released daily at 8am, Monday to Friday.
You can request an appointment:
- through the NHS app
- using an online form
- or by phoning the surgery.
To register for the online service, contact the surgery and we can register you right away.
For some conditions it may be faster to get help from your pharmacy.
Urgent appointments
If you need an appointment within 24 hours, you can contact the surgery or call NHS 111.
Routine appointments
For appointments within the next 7 days or more, request an appointment through the NHS app, our online form or by phoning the surgery.
Home visits
If you cannot leave your home and need an appointment, please contact the surgery.
