Patient appointments
About your appointment
Appointments are essential. A standard consultation is allocated unless you require and ask for a longer consultation. If you require a longer appointment, please let our reception staff know when booking so extra time can be allocated.
Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time and Doctor. Emergencies will always be given priority. Our Reception staff will attempt to contact you if there is any unforeseen delay or your doctor has been called away.
