The surgery is open from 8.15AM until 6.30PM every working day. It is closed on weekends and bank holidays. We operate a mixture of open and pre-booked surgeries. For open surgeries, patients who arrive between the times shown can wait and see a doctor or nurse. If there is more than one doctor in surgery then patients can choose which to see at reception when they arrive. Patients must book in advance for the booked surgeries.
The pressures on the NHS are well publicised and we endeavour not to waste appointments. Should you be unable to attend or change your mind about an appointment then it is important to let us know as soon as possible so that it can be offered to other patients.
Out of Hours: If you require a doctor outside of our working hours then please call 111 for non-emergency advice/to see a GP or 999 for an emergency.
