Attending your Appointment
If you have new respiratory symptoms (new cough, fever, sore throat, loss of taste, breathlessness), please be aware that you may be infectious. In order to minimise the risk of transmission to others, please alert reception staff at the time of booking. You may be offered a phone consultation or a consultation at the end of the clinic. Please wear a mask when entering the practice.
It is helpful to get the most out of your appointment if you tell our receptionist the reason for your visit. All staff take confidentiality very seriously. If you would prefer not to say, that is okay too. We understand.
Appointment Slots are in very high demand. If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment for any reason please ring to cancel as there is another patient awaiting for the appointment slot.
Be aware that you may be asked to wait outside if there are already people in our waiting rooms.
PLEASE NOTE YOU CANNOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE NOT A REGISTERED PATIENT OF THIS PRACTICE. THE PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO NEW PATIENTS.
