Due to GP staff shortage the practice is currently working on a Bookable on the day appointment system at present for all GP appointments. Please call as soon after 8am to book a GP appointment. Pre-bookable appointments are still available for our practice nurses, physiotherapist and phlebotomy clinics one week in advance.
If any patients wish to discuss the appointment system further, our Practice Manager, Mrs Angela Owens will be happy to discuss this with you.
Extended hours
The practice participates in a Direct Enhanced Service for extended hours.
Out of Hours Calls
Call NHS 24 on 111 for emergency advice out of hours.
The NHS website is www.nhs24.com
Outwith the normal surgery hours 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, telephone NHS 24 on 111 for urgent medical advice. Prior to Public Holidays notices will be displayed notifying patients to contact NHS 24 on those days. Messages will also be left on the practice answer machine informing patients to contact NHS 24 and repeating the contact number. Please remember that calls which are not true emergencies could delay help to seriously ill patients. We would ask you to follow some helpful guidelines:-
Do limit requests after 6pm and before 8am to EMERGENCIES ONLY. But DON’T be afraid to call for advice if you are concerned. Do try to wait till the morning if at all possible. A doctor for that delay can see you first thing if necessary.
