The surgery is open for patients to contact reception on Monday between 08.00 - 18.00 and Tuesday to Friday between 07.30 - 18.00, except on Tuesdays when we close from 12.00 - 13.00 for staff meetings or training. Doctors and nurses consult at various times during these opening hours.
The telephones are open from 08.00 - 18.00.
Consultation times vary from day to day between 07.30 -11.00 and 13.30 -17.40.
All appointments can be made by calling at the surgery or by telephone. Patients are free to express a preference to see a doctor or nurse of their choice for routine appointments at the surgery.
If you feel that you need to be seen the same day, you will be - but not always by the doctor of your choice.
