How to Request an Appointment

Check our opening times

To request a routine or urgent appointment you can contact us via Whatsapp, simply add the practice number to your contacts on your mobile phone and send us a text message via Whatsapp.

If you are unable to use Whatsapp, please contact reception, either by telephone or in person, who will be able to assist and complete a form on your behalf if needed.

• You can get treatment for seven common conditions straight from your local pharmacy - More information about the Pharmacy First scheme

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with. Your appointment request will be reviewed by our triage team who will then offer you the most appropriate response to your query. This could take the form of:

• Signposting to local services, e.g pharmacy first
• Face to face appointment at the surgery with a healthcare professional
• Telephone appointment with a healthcare professional

Cancelling or changing an appointment

If you can not make your appointment let us know as soon as you can so another patient can book the appointment time. You can cancel or change your appointment via Whatsapp.

Alternatively, you can contact reception if you are unable to use Whatsapp.

Home Visits

To request a home visit contact the surgery before 11.00am, this can be done by Whatsapp.

Remember that we can see several patients at the practice in the time it takes for one home visit. Patients should have their appointment at the surgery if they can.

Lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
