Our surgery offers a number of pre-bookable appointments, which can be booked up to two weeks in advance. All other appointments are allocated on the day.

In October every year we ask all patients over the age of 65, or patients with a history of chronic illness, to have a flu vaccination. If you are over 60 or are 'at risk' you are also elligible to have a pneumonia vaccination. If you are unsure please ask at Reception. Minor Surgery (under local anaesthetic) is carried out on a Thursday afternoon, by appointment.
If you are on long term medication you will be given a computerised prescription re-order slip. This allows you to re-order medication without seeing the Doctor every time. We regret that requests for repeat prescriptions will not be accepted over the telephone. After twelve repeats (or as otherwise decided by your Doctor) you will be required to see your Doctor for review to ensure all is well before further prescriptions are issued.

Sometimes the Doctors at this surgery listen to your problems, but at most they don't take you seriously at all. They make you feel small and unintelligent. 'Had to deal with Transphobia, inappropriate questions and dismissal multiple times.
I should hope nobody else will ever have to hear 'well, what do you want me to do about it?' when experiencing a mental health crisis.

Terrible to make an appointment...phone at 8.30 in the morning and its continuously engaged, when I finally get through there are no appointments. Go to the surgery and they say I need to phone from 8.30 in the morning!! Very frustrating
