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.

We keep both our surgeries open over the lunchtime period for our patients’ convenience, although it may be necessary occasionally to close for an hour or two for training purposes.

Extended Opening Hours

For your convenience pre-booked appointments are now available as early as 8.00 am and after 6.00 pm, although you may not be able to see your own GP at these times. There is also a Saturday surgery twice a month, usually at Broadstone on the 1st Saturday of the month and at Corfe Mullen on the 3rd Saturday. These surgeries are for routine appointments only and must be pre-booked.
