The surgery operates an appointments system for both doctor and nurse consultations on weekdays.
All our routine appointments are triaged first via telephone and we will never refuse face to face appointment if it is clinically necessary.
To book an appointment please call us on 01277 283180 option 2. If the Doctor feels that examination is clinically necessary you will be invited to attend (wearing face covering/mask if respiratory complaint).
Patients have a right to request an appointment with a specific doctor. However, experience has shown that if you wish to speak/see a specific doctor this may involve a delay. Patients should note we have a mix of full-time and part-time GPs. Patients requesting a same-day appointment, which should be for urgent medical problems only will be seen by the duty doctor.
Patients requesting a same-day appointment, which should be for urgent medical problems only, will be offered face to face emergency appointment with the duty doctor. On days when there is a high demand for this type of consultation there may be a considerable wait, which is unavoidable. For this reason we ask you to consider carefully before using this option.
Please note that an appointment allows sufficient time to deal with one health issue only and that it may be necessary to ask you to book another appointment if the time needs to be extended.
Please inform reception if you are unable to keep an appointment.

Important Information
Patients aged 16 and over must apply for this registration form in person. Applications can not be made for anyone other than yourself unless the patient is under 11 years of age and you are the patient's parent or legal guardian. In this case an application form will be issued but you will need to remember to log in using the child's SystmOne online details if you are making an appointment or requesting a prescription on their behalf.
On the child’s 12th birthday, GP computer systems will automatically restrict the scope of existing proxy access. Parental proxy access may be reinstated if, after discussion with the parent(s) requesting access, the child’s GP believes that proxy access would be in the child’s best interest.
