Same day appointments for minor illnesses are also available with our Nurse Practitioner.

Make the most of your appointment
Doctors spend on average 10 minutes with each patient. Once you've got an appointment, plan ahead to make sure that you cover everything you want to discuss.
Before you see the doctor write down when your symptoms started and what makes them better or worse. Please try to provide as much information as you can.
When you see the doctor, bring a friend or relative if you're worried. Research shows that we forget half of what we're told by the doctor when we're stressed, so having a friend with you can help.
Be honest about what you think may be causing the problem, and don’t be embarrassed. Your doctor will have seen and heard it all before.
Be clear about what you want the doctor to do, such as refer you to a specialist or prescribe a different medication. Be assertive if you need to, but always be polite.
Ask the doctor to repeat and explain anything you don’t understand. If there are words you don’t understand, ask what they mean or get the doctor to write them down so that you can look them up later.
If you and your GP decide you need to be referred for specialist tests or treatment, you usually have a right to choose which hospital you go to.


Appointments Online
You can now book routine GP appointments and cancel any exisiting appointments you may have online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To use this new service, ask reception for details and request your unique username and password.

If you take antibiotics when you do not need them, you could be helping to make bacteria resistent to them.
It means that the drugs can no longer kill the bacteria they are meant to fight.
Your GP will advise when it is appropriate to take antibiotics
