Routine appointments with GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner - These can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance. 

Urgent on the day appointments with GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner - These appointments are released daily, Monday to Friday.

When booking an appointment we ask that you provide the receptionist with as much information as possible, including the reason for the appointment and the urgency.  This helps them book your appointment into the correct appointment slot with the correct clinician.  Knowing the reason for the appointment allows the clinicians to prioritise their patients.   All information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence. 

Our phone lines are extremely busy and our receptionists are taking up to 250 calls a day, please be patient.  If you have signs of a stroke, chest pains, severe bleeding or difficulty breathing then you should telephone 999 immediately.  

Routine Appointments with the Nurse - These can be booked up to 3 weeks in advance.  The average wait for a routine Nurse appointment varies from 1 to 2 weeks.  For certain clinics, e.g. Annual Diabetic Reviews, the wait might be slightly longer but you will be advised when booking your appointment.
