Accessing GP services 

All GP practices have been, and continue to be, open – caring for our patients, but in a different way. Read our information about what you need to do if you think you need a GP appointment.

• When you contact us for a GP appointment, our receptionists will ask you for a brief reason for the appointment to ensure your problem is dealt with the most appropriate member of our team. Current GP appointment offerings are as follows:
  • Same day telephone triage appointments can be booked from 8am Monday-Friday
  • Pre-bookable telephone triage appointments can be booked in advance at any time
  • Face to face appointments can be booked for certain conditions which will require a face to face examination
• Practice Nurse and HCA appointments are available to book at any time
