From Wednesday 5th November we will be operating a new triage system for appointments with our clinicians. We hope that this will be a more efficient way for all patients to obtain the care that they need.

As usual, you will be asked by our reception team the reason for your appointment request. You may be booked an appointment at the surgery, signposted elsewhere, or asked to submit an eConsult, so that a GP can decide who is the best person to treat you.

Please be patient and bear with us while we introduce this new system.

Appointments are now available for your free flu vaccination. Our clinics commence 1st October 2025 and you will soon receive an invite if you are eligible, with a link to book directly. Alternatively, you can call the surgery to book an appointment or to check if you are eligible.
