Improving patient access to GP appointments
last updated June 2018
We have made some changes to our appointment system
Appointments can be pre-booked up to 1 week in advance and some will be available to book via the website. We also have some appointments bookable a month in advance.
You will be given the option of a telephone or a face to face consultation
- You phone the surgery.
- The Receptionist takes details and a contact telephone number.
- The Doctors have asked the Receptionists to get brief details of the reason for the consultation as it helps them to prioritise the calls.
We have started a pilot on Wednesday mornings "Help us to Keep to Time" where patients can book 5, 10, or 15 minute appointments. This will help us keep to time and give you the time you need.You will be offered a telephone or face to face consultation with the doctor
