Making Appointments

Our practice operates on an appointment system with 15-minute time slots.

Appointments can be made in person at the receptions desk, by telephone or online via your computer or mobile phone.

If you require longer than 15 minutes, please ask at time of booking for a longer appointment. For example, if you have complex conditions, multiple issues and counselling. (you will be required to rebook for additional issues, if you have not requested a longer consultation)

On arrival, it is important to let reception staff know you are present by either presenting at the reception counter.

If your problem is urgent, e.g. chest pain or shortness of breath, please tell the receptionist immediately.

Emergencies can happen, causing unavoidable delays in the appointment schedule. We will endeavour to keep you up to date if we are running late.
