Every effort will be made to accommodate your preference but emergencies are given priority and may cause occasional delays. Extended appointments are required for more complex matters, health checks, insurance, driving and employment medicals and counselling. Please inform our reception staff if you need extra time with your doctor so that a longer appointment can be arranged.
Please advise us in good time if you are unable to keep your appointment or need an interpreter.

Doctors provide a recall system which enables staff to make an appointment should your doctor consider it necessary for you to see them. Recall notices offering you preventative health services are also issued when appropriate.
The practice routinely sends SMS appointment reminders to patients with longer appointments – if you do not wish to have reminders sent please notify reception staff.
