About Us
We are open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 6.30pm and within that time frame we aim to ensure that an appointment will be available with a primary care professional within 12 hours and a GP within 48 hours. We are almost always able to ensure that urgent cases can be seen the same day by the Nurse Practitioner or the Duty Doctor at the surgery. Such emergency surgeries will have shorter appointment times and may be subject to disruption. In order to provide this service, it is essential that issues which are not immediately urgent are planned in a routine surgery by booking the appointment in advance. Please always book for a routine surgery if your problem can wait.
