GP Appointments
You can book routine appointments with your doctor in three ways: online, over the phone or at reception.
- Online - you can view, book and cancel routine appointments online. It is a simple and easy system to use, and especially useful during those times when the telephone lines are busy or the practice is closed. If you wish to sign up for this service please visit the surgery and ask for your online appointments login details.
- Telephone - our doctors operate personal lists to ensure continuity and consistency of care, and each list is supported by a personal receptionist. You can make an appointment by calling your doctor's receptionist or the general enquiries line (01271) 329004.
