Appointments System

You can contact the surgery in person or by telephoning 01287 622207 to arrange an appointment.

If you request a specific GP you will be given their first available appointment.

Please note that this may not necessarily be the first available appointment.

All surgeries are by appointment. Urgent cases will always be seen on the same day. Otherwise, booking your appointment a few days ahead helps the system to work better. We always aim to see you as near to your appointment time as possible. If you cannot attend please let us know.
