Appointments
An appointments system helps things run smoothly and reduces waiting times. If you can get in touch with us in advance we are more likely to book your preferred time. Phone us or book online.
Sometimes your doctor will suggest you make a follow-up appointment before you leave. The administration team will sort this out for you.
We also prefer patients to come back to see your doctor to get any test results. It helps to be able to discuss and have your results communicated clearly.
GP Consultations
Standard consultations with your doctor usually last about 10-15 minutes. You can phone us or book an appointment online. Let us know at the time of booking if you have a complex matter that requires a long or extended appointment. We will prioritise emergencies as they arise. By arrangement, we can visit you in your home or nursing home facility.
