Appointments

We are launching a new appointment booking system on Monday 7th July.

The new booking system will be available at the link below from 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday. You can book urgent and routine appointments using this system:

New Appointment System

Please note that no routine appointments will be released on Friday 4th July.

These are pre-bookable up to 6 weeks in advance.

Nurses appointments vary in length of time therefore, the reception administrator will ask what the appointment is for to enable us to book the right time frame.

We offer additional routine appointments on a Saturday morning from 8.30am to 12pm. These are provided by a range of staff to offer nurse, pharmacist and GP appointments outside of our normal opening hours. These appointments can be booked in the same way as routine appointments above.

If you are housebound and need an appointment, we will do a home visit. We will phone you first to understand what you need.

To request a home visit, it’s helpful if you phone the practice as soon after 8am as possible.

There are now lots of different clinical staff seeing patients at the practice. To help you understand how the various roles differ, click here for more information on the different types of clinicians you might see at the practice.

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

• by phone
• face to face at the surgery
• on a video call
• by text or email

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.

To cancel your appointment:

• use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• using the GP system - SystmOnline
• reply using the link in your reminder text message
• phone us on 01283 732257, Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 6.30pm

If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or Call 111.

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

• if you need an interpreter
