We aim that you should see the Doctor of your choice, although
this may not always be possible if the appointment you need is
urgent.
For all ongoing illness, we hope that you will see the same
Doctor throughout, as this allows us to follow your condition
more closely - please inform the Receptionist of this when
booking your appointment.
ROUTINE NON-URGENT APPOINTMENTS These can be made up to four weeks ahead for the Doctor of your
choice or on the day you wish to come.
URGENT APPOINTMENTS These appointments are for genuine medical urgency and not for
reasons of convenience. We ask you to respect this. You may not be given the time or Doctor of your choice, and your
appointment will be for 5 minutes duration.
SPECIAL APPOINTMENTS
These are made available at special times either because they
require extra time or the assistance of a midwife or nursing
sister. These are for:
• Contraceptive advice • Antenatal care - with our midwife • Cervical smears • Foreign travel immunisations and advice • Baby immunisations
• Medical examination for insurance, fitness to drive and other
activities • Research or drug studies
TELEPHONE ADVICE
If you wish to speak with the Duty Doctor or Nurse via the
