Our reception staff are specially trained to book the most suitable, convenient and available appointment for you.

In order to establish what type of appointment is best suited to your needs and help you get care from the most appropriate person, we ask our receptionists to ask patients to give them an indication of the reason for their appointment.

This policy allows the surgery to manage the doctors and nurses' valuable consultation time effectively, without compromising patient care.
