Your appointment
However you choose to contact us we may offer you a consultation:
- by phone
- face to face at the surgery
Appointments by phone or online can be more flexible and often means the doctor or nurse can help you sooner.
If there are no appointments available on the day, practice reception staff will offer you alternative services or offer you available appointments for future.
Cancelling or changing an appointment
- Telephone the surgery as soon as possible, and at least 1 hour before your appointment time. This will enable us to offer your appointment to someone else.
- Use your Patient Access account (on the Patient Access website or in the Patient Access app).
- Through your SMS appointment confirmation
Cancellations notified less than 1 hour before the appointment time will be recorded as failure to attend (DNA). Repeated failure to attend booked appointments is a significant waste of NHS resources.
