Many of our appointments are carried out over the telephone which has proved a satisfactory method for the majority of our patients. The clinical team will make contact with you over the phone prioritising the clinical needs of the patients on their list. They will discuss your issues with you and arrange for you to attend the surgery if it required. If you prefer, the reception team can book a face to face consultation for you.
Face to face appointments are still available each day.
Please visit our Who Do I See? section which has advice on the best Healthcare Professional to see.
