PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Sadly patients are very quick to criticise GP Practices when there is a shortage of appointments even though patient demand is not something we can control.

However, appointment availability is also determined by how responsibly patients use our services.

If you need to cancel an appointment, please contact us and let us know in good time so we can offer the appintment to someone else who needs it. Thank you
