Appointments:

Each morning, we offer open access and telephone triage appointments between 8:00am and 11:00am, or until we reach our daily capacity of 15 patients. Open access operates as a sit and wait clinic, meaning patients are seen in order of arrival or urgency; please note that our GPs begin consultations from around 9:00am, so waiting times can vary depending on demand. For telephone triage, patients can call the surgery between 8:00am and 11:00am to request a call back from a GP, who will assess your problem and advise on the next steps, which may include treatment advice, a prescription, or a face-to-face appointment if needed. Please note some problems can be safely assessed by phone, but others require a face‑to‑face appointment so the GP can examine you properly. Examples include:
Conditions needing physical examination – such as abdominal pain, joint or muscle problems, lumps, hernias, or breast concerns
Skin problems – rashes, moles, infections, ulcers, or wounds that need to be seen or examined closely
Chest symptoms – chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations
Ear, nose, throat and eye problems – ear pain or discharge, sore throats with concerning features, sinus pain, or eye redness and vision changes
Infections – where temperature, chest, urine testing, throat swabs, or examination is required
Neurological symptoms – weakness, numbness, severe headaches, dizziness, or balance problems
Our care navigators will ask you a series of questions to direct you to the most appropriate service
Afternoon appointments are available to book up to 6 weeks in advance these can be booked online or by calling the surgery

After more than 20 years of dedicated service to our patients and local community, Dr Nielsen will be retiring at the end of March this year.

Dr Nielsen has been a valued part of our practice for over two decades, providing compassionate and continuous care to countless patients and families. We know many of you will join us in expressing heartfelt thanks for their commitment throughout the years.

To mark this occasion, we have placed a Book of Thanks behind the reception desk. If you would like to leave a message or share your well wishes, please feel free to ask a member of our reception team, who will be happy to assist.

Please be reassured that the practice is working to ensure a smooth transition.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
