GP and Nurse Consulting Hours
Please note the practice operates a morning and afternoon Duty appointment system. This is so urgent issues can be dealt with on the same day. However, this service is not a walk-in service so please call the surgery if you wish to speak or see the duty GP on that day. If you require an appointment sooner, please speak to 111 or in an emergency call 999.
Telephone Lines are open as follows:
- 8:00am – 6.30pm Emergencies, making appointments, obtaining results and general enquiries
The phone lines may be closed periodically from 12:30pm – 2:00pm for staff training. During this time, the emergency line is still operational.
