Please note appointments are for 10 minutes, if you feel you need to discuss more than 1 problem please book a double appointment.

Telephone Consultations

You can request a telephone consultation whereby the doctor will call you back.

If for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment or no longer need it, please let us know as soon as possible so that it can be reallocated.

Appointments can be cancelled by phoning reception on 01922 631630 or online via Patient Access.

Please remember that there may be a shortage of appointments and when you fail to attend you have prevented someone else from being seen in your place.
