Please be aware that we are experiencing unprecedented levels of demand at the moment and despite our best efforts, we are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with this demand. Our waiting time now for a non-urgent appointment is around 3 weeks. If you feel you need to contact us, please consider if there are other avenues that may give you a quicker answer. Read More.
Appointments
We have introduced a Total Triage system to improve the way patients access the practice online, improve how we deal with rising demand and minimise the number of people coming into practice.
If you require medical advice please complete an online form outlining your medical need and a GP will review your request for medical advice and deal with it in the most appropriate way in line with medical urgency. This may be via phone, video call or online response. If you do need a face to face appointment then the GP will arrange this for you.
The online form can be found here or you can complete it via the NHS app. If you cannot use online access don't worry, our reception team will complete this form with you.
For non-urgent issues, please follow the guidelines below and choose the right service, which can help you without any appointment. This will help us being more efficient and making an appointment available to you when you need it the most.

Pharmacy
Your pharmacy can advise you on minor illness without the need of an appointment. Please speak to a pharmacist first.
The 35 conditions which can be treated at home with advice from the pharmacist include:
Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.
