Please note that we do not accept appointment bookings by surgery email.
We have received several emails sent by patients regarding booking an appointment. By doing this, there will be a significant delay in receiving a response from a member of our team and consequently the appointments for the day will have already been booked.
Please RING the surgery to book a GP telephone appointment - Little Common 01424 847575 or Old Town 01424 739420
Thank you
Please ensure you wear an adequate face covering if you attend the surgery; with the exception of children under 11 years old

CARE NAVIGATION
SEE THE RIGHT PERSON FIRST
Our reception team are trained Care Navigators. This means they will ask you some questions about the reason for your appointment. This is so we can ensure you see the right person first. There are many services you can self-refer to which means you do not need a GP appointment, and you may be seen quicker. Please help us to help you by being patient with our receptionists whilst they try to deal with your query efficiently.
Visit the website for more information on local services available to you; or alternatively speak to our Receptionists who will be able to point you in the right direction.
