Telephone Access

We have been working closely with the telephone company and conveyed feedback from patients and staff regarding telephone wait times.  As of 30th April 2019 a call queuing system has been introduced and the practice will continue to monitor this closely.  We appreciate the time patients take in giving feedback as this helps to improve our services.

Online appointments

The number of pre-bookable online appointments with Doctors and Advanced Nurse Practioners have been increased.  Booking appointments online saves time for patients and also reduces the call waiting times on the phone as you can make an appointment online anywhere anytime without delay.
