There are 4 types of appointments:

1. Same day – a limited selection of appointments are released each morning at 8:30am each morning. These appointments tend to be used for new illnesses/conditions that are more urgent and need to be seen the same day.
2. In advance – appointments in advance that are booked after a GP has triaged and decided it’s more appropriate to wait to be seen
3. Telephone – doctors and nurses are often able to provide advice to patients on the telephone.
4. Long Term condition management – we monitor patients who have long term conditions on a regular basis at specialist clinics. Patients with these conditions will be sent a letter inviting them to make an appointment.

We also offer online appointment booking. If you are interested in this service, please download an App such as the NHS app or Patient Access or ask the reception team.
