Main Surgery

Monday-Friday          8.30-10.00am      No Appointment Necessary

Monday-Thursday     3.30-6.00pm        Appointments Only

Friday                       4.00-6.00pm        No Appointment Necessary

Anyone presenting themselves between 8.30am and 10am on a weekday morning will be seen by one of the Doctors. No appointment is necessary. When you arrive, if there are a lot of people ahead of you in the queue, you will be given an approximate time to be seen and you may either wait or return later. If you feel increasingly ill while waiting or if you are very concerned about a child, please tell the receptionist – she can only help if she knows.

Monday to Thursday evenings are by appointment only. If an urgent problem arises after morning surgery we will be able to offer an evening appointment, but only if the problem cannot wait until the next morning surgery.

Most medical problems take time to be assessed properly. It can be difficult to deal with a long list of unrelated items in a single consultation, so you may, on occasion, be asked to come back to discuss further worries.

Later Evening Appointments

On Monday and Thursday Evenings we are now offering pre-booked non urgent appointments with one of the Doctors from 6.30 - 7.15pm. These are for those patients who find it difficult to attend the Surgery during our normal working hours. Please ask the receptionist if you would like one of these appointments. Please note it is not possible to do blood tests at this time of day, so if these are necessary you will be asked to return to the surgery during the normal working hours.

Practice Nurse

The Nurse can be seen by appointment between the following times:

Monday-Friday         8.30am - 1.00pm
Thursdays                4.30pm - 6.45pm

The Practice Nurse is also available to offer advice on a range of medical matters over the telephone. Receptionists will take a message and pass it on to the Nurse, who will contact you at a mutually convenient time.

She can often help with problems such as minor injuries, vaccinations, childhood illnesses and family planning. Please make an appointment, or ask to speak to her if you are in doubt, and she can arrange to see you herself or advise you to see a Doctor where appropriate.
