GP Appointments
Please consider whether Pharmacy First can help you with your problem before you call the surgery. For more information click on
Appointments can be booked by telephoning reception.
These are booked as 10 minute consultations and you can be seen by any GP, but we would encourage you to see the same GP whenever possible.
One Problem = One Appointment
Your GP/ANP appointment is 10 minutes. We want to make this 10 minutes as effective as possible so please only discuss one issue at each appointment. If you have more than one problem, you must let the GP/ANP know so that you both can plan how to address these over the course of one or more appointments. For more information, see the leaflet Getting the Best from your GP Appointment

Urgent Appointments
In the event of sudden onset of your illness, it may be possible to book an urgent appointment at the surgery. You will be asked the nature of your condition and the doctor may also wish to speak to you directly. You may not be able to see a doctor of your choice and could also be advised to call 999 if the doctor feels it is life threatening i.e. chest pains.
In a life-threatening emergency such as sudden severe chest pain, loss of consciousness or severe bleeding - dial 999 before ringing the surgery.
Telephone Consultation
Sometimes it may be possible to resolve problems over the telephone without visiting the surgery. If you think this may be helpful, please ring the surgery, preferably before 11:30 and we will arrange for a doctor to return your call.
