Phone the surgery number to arrange appointments, repeat prescriptions and home visits. If you prefer a telephone consultation this too can be arranged.

You can now book appointments online: Please ask at reception for a form.

GP Appointments are available Monday to Friday. Morning sessions run from 8.30am until 11.00am and afternoon sessions take place from 3.30pm until 6.00pm. These appointments vary, as some will be pre-bookable in advance, as well as having urgent appointments which are opened on the day.

NHS 111 is operational for patients requiring medical care/advice after 6:30pm. The surgery telephone line will ask patients to hang up and dial 111. Patients will then be signposted to the correct service.
