Appointment Times

Mon- Fri  8.30 am – 6.30pm

We offer some early morning (from 7am) and later evening appointments (until 7.30pm).  Please phone for details.  These are all bookable up to 6 weeks ahead. Booking early will mean you are more likely to be able to see the doctor or nurse of your choice at a time most convenient to you. Please make a separate appointment for each person who needs to see a doctor or nurse.

If you cannot attend at the time of your appointment, please ring to cancel so that we can offer your appointment to another patient .

Telephoning the Doctor

If you wish to speak to the doctor, please ring after 10.00am and the receptionist will advise you when a doctor will be available. Interruptions during surgery are upsetting for both doctors and patients. For this reason, receptionists have been asked not to disturb consultations with telephone calls.

Telephone booking

Urgent appointments

Home Visits

Please telephone 01582 664401 before 11.00am if you need a home visit. Please do not request a home visit if you are able to come to the surgery. The receptionist will ask some questions to assist the doctor in deciding the urgency of each case. Please provide the patient's name, address, age and your telephone number.
