Appointments
New appointment system from 2nd September 2024
From Monday the 2nd of September 2024 how we allocate GP and Advance Practitioner appointments is changing. As demand is increasing it's more important than ever that we allocate appointments based on clinical need. Therefore, however you contact us to request an appointment, by phone, in person, online or via the NHS app, all requests will go to a clinician to be traiged and we will then be in touch by your prefered method with the outcome.
For more information please see the resources below:
