CQC Report

Our new appointment system is now in full swing. How it works:

Faster access
Speak to the doctor of your choice
Your medical problems being dealt with on the day you call
Less advance-bookings
please call between 08:30-11:30 or 2:30-5:30

Over time, we have taken on board patients comments about our current appointment system, and have heard the need for things to change for better access to our GP's and of patients choice.

Our new system will allow you to speak to a doctor on the day that you call, who will then book an appointment for you (usually on the same day), if that is what you require.

All patients will speak to a doctor on the day by telephone. Some patients may not have to come in to see the doctor, if by the end of the phone call, and only if both you and the doctor are happy that your problem has been fully dealt with you may not need a face – to – face appointment.

(For more details on how this will work, please use the appointment tab above)
