Use this service to get urgent or routine appointments at the surgery.
Your request will be triaged by a GP based on your answers to the questions. Once triaged, it may be that a member of our care navigation team will call you with an appointment on the day if deemed appropriate by the triage doctor. Please make sure you are available to take this call or we will message/email to advise of a routine appointment.
If this is an urgent appointment, we will respond within a couple of hours. If this is routine, we will aim to respond within 1 working day during opening times.
