Appointments
The practice provides appointments with the GPs, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health or social care professionals. All appointments are bookable on the basis of one patient one problem per appointment; multiple problems may require more time and you will need to request a double appointment for this.
Please watch the following YouTube video which explains how you can use your practice website to consult with your surgery online:
Using our website is the easiest way for you to contact the surgery to arrange an appointment or to get help with any problems.

Online Services Appointments
Appointments can be requested, viewed and cancelled using our online services, SystmOnline. Patients can register for this service online and then come into the practice to provide ID in order to complete the registration.
Lateness and Cancellations
If you are late by 5 minutes or more for a nurse appointment you will have to reschedule it. If you are late for a doctors appointment, it will be at their discretion.
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your appointment so we can give the time to someone else.
We have a strict policy for when patients do not attend their appointment and do not inform us about cancelling beforehand. If you do not inform us when you cancel an appointment three times within a 12 month period, you may be asked to leave the practice and register with another surgery.
