Routine GP Appointments

We always work to prioritise urgent cases to alleviate the strain on Emergency Services and Secondary Care. All cases submitted to the practice are triaged by a duty clinician, and if deemed routine will be placed onto a waiting list.

It is important to consider the following before contacting the surgery:

  • Are your symptoms something you could manage through self-care?
  • Could this be treated through a community pharmacy?
  • Do you need to visit minor injuries to get adequate treatment?
  • Could NHS 111 provide the advice you need?

To help consider the answer to these questions before contacting the surgery, you can visit NHS choices for further advice and information: Your choices in the NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
