During the week the telephone lines are open from 8.00 am – 6.30 pm and the surgery is open from 8.30am – 6.30pm for patients to make appointments, pick up prescriptions and for general enquiries.

Extended Opening Hours

For your convenience pre-booked appointments are now available as early as 8 am and after 6 pm, although you may not be able to see your own GP at these times.

Telephone Appointments

If it is felt appropriate the Receptionist may be able to offer you a telephone appointment when you can consult your doctor without having to travel to the surgery. A time will be arranged with you and the doctor will phone you.

Please remember that the Receptionist will not be able to interrupt your doctor’s surgery for you to speak to him/her immediately
