Appointments

We are open between 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday

Tel: 01803 553558

We are also open on Saturdays from 8.00am until 12.30pm with the exception of bank holiday weekends for pre-bookable appointments only – please note there is no telephone service available on Saturdays.

We provide a range of appointments that are suitable to all of our patients.  Feedback received is that you would like to be able to deal with a problem that occurs on the day.  You would also like to be able to book GP appointments in advance.  By offering the following variety we hope to achieve all of that.

It is important to remember that by having appointments booked in advance, it limits the amount we can offer on the day, so please do think about the kind of appointment you need before contacting us.

On the day GP appointments

There are a limited number of spaces available for patients who have new or urgent issues on the day.

To book one of these appointments you will need to call the surgery on 01803 553558 to book a telephone call with the duty doctor.

The duty doctor will call you and after a discussion with you, they may call you in for a face to face consultation in the surgery.

Planned GP appointments

Following feedback we have now updated our appointment system so that it is possible to book telephone or face to face appointments up to 2 weeks in advance.  This way you can plan your GP appointment around all of your other commitments.

If you want to deal with a specific doctor let the Receptionist know. Wherever possible they will arrange that.

Nurse appointments

Appointments with the Practice Nurse and Healthcare Assistants can be pre-booked up to 4 weeks in advance.

In all instances, if calling the surgery the receptionist will ask you for your name, telephone number and a brief description of the problem.
