Online booking of appointments are now triaged to ensure that you are booked in with the most appropriate healthcare professional for your problem.  This can be a member of our clinical / nursing team or can be a healthcare professional external to the practice i.e. one of our community pharmacists.

Please provide as much information as possible in the reason for your appointment.

We have also developed a nursing strategy for patients who receive check-ups for their chronic disease to ensure that their care is still delivered.
