Book a Routine Appointment

The following is our process for booking appointments

All requests for appointments will be processed online via our website. Everyone contacting the surgery will be asked to go through the online process. The form will be triaged by our trained navigation team and you will be contacted with the outcome which could be a link sent to your phone to book an appointment, a direct telephone call, self-care advice, or navigation to a service that is more appropriate to help and support you.

By using the online service, you save time waiting on the queue, and leave the phone lines free for those patients who are not able to access the internet.

If your request is deemed clinically appropriate for a GP appointment this will be categorised under three levels of urgency:

  1. Same day
  2. Within 3 working days
  3. Within 10 working days

To preserve telephone access for those who are not able to use the online service, we ask that you please avoid calling the practice, but instead to complete the online form. Requests for appointments will now only be managed using the online form.

Our email inbox will no longer be monitored. Therefore please send all your requests for appointments, prescriptions, fit notes or any admin related query using the online form only.

The process is simple, safe and easy to navigate.

The online service to request an appointment is available during surgery opening hours, Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6.30pm. If you require appointment outside the surgeries opening hours please contact 111 or visit NHS 111 online
