Understanding our appointments
Our practice is here to support your ongoing health and wellbeing. We offer:
Routine appointments for:
- issues that can wait a few days until the next available appointment
- on-going long-term health conditions
- medication reviews
- general check-ups or follow-ups
Urgent appointments for:
- Problems that need attention sooner but are not emergencies
- a new health problem that you haven't told us about before
- worsening symptons that need attention today or soon
- problems you're worried will get much worse if you wait longer
In line with NHS England and UK Government contractual requirements, our practice is making changes to how appointments are accessed and managed.
These changes are designed to help ensure patients are seen by the most appropriate clinician, in a timely and effective way.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we implement these nationally mandated updates.
