Our system is changing!

Our ANPs are no longer going to triage appointments.

Our administrative staff will take your call as normal and ask a few questions to ensure that you are directed to the correct person, at the correct time.

Please be kind to our staff, they have been asked to enquire about the reason for your call. This information is confidential.

Thank you.

Thank you in advance!
