Consultations

You can make an appointment to be seen by a GP within 48 hours. We cannot guarantee that this will be with a particular GP. For URGENT matters you can make an appointment on the same day. You can also book an appointment for up to two weeks in advance.

Nurse Clinics

Our nurses see people by appointment for nursing matters such as vaccinations, cervical smears, suture removal, ear wash outs and dressings, etc. They do not run a walk-in clinic.

Both our GPs and nurses run clinics for chronic diseases. Those people affected will be called up annually for a chronic disease check-up. It is very important that you make and keep appointments for this. If you do not wish to attend these clinics, we will ask you to put that in writing to us.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT, EVEN AT SHORT NOTICE, IF IT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, AS IT CAN THEN BE OFFERED TO ANOTHER PATIENT.

TELEPHONE REQUESTS FOR RESULTS should be made after 11.30am.
