Routine Appointments
Patients may make appointments to see the clinician of their choice by using our on-line service (SystmOnline), calling at the Surgery in person, or by telephoning the Surgery when it is open.
An appointment should be made for each person requiring a consultation.
On arriving for your appointment please check in on the computer provided, or report to the receptionist.
Urgent Appointments
If there are no routine appointments available we offer a “sit and wait” clinic starting at 11:30am for those patients who feel they need to be seen that day. Patients booked into this clinic will be seen in order of arrival (unless having an urgent medical need) by all available doctors. A specific doctor cannot be guaranteed. After 11am, calls for urgent appointments will be forwarded through to the on call doctor.
Further information can be found on our 'Urgent Problems and Out of Hours' page.
Requests for a Home Visit
Please do not ask for a home visit unless the patient is too ill to come to the Surgery. For further information please see our 'Home Visits' page.
Telephone Advice
If you need to speak to a clinician on the phone, we have a dedicated duty doctor for urgent matters. Alternatively we offer routine telephone appointments with all the clinicians.
