Urgent appointments
Please tell us if you feel that you need an appointment urgently. We'll review your request carefully. Where appropriate, we'll offer you an appointment on the same working day, or the next day. If we think you need immediate help, we may tell you to go to a hospital.
Ways to book
- Request an urgent appointment online
- Download the NHS App
- Telephone: 01883 625262
- Visit the practice in person
Book a routine appointment
If you don't need immediate help, please let us know when you request an appointment. This may be, for example, because:
- You're due to have a health check-up or screening
- You need a vaccination
- You need a blood test
Where appropriate, we'll arrange an appointment for you in the next few weeks. If you've asked to see a specific person, there may be a longer wait while they are fully booked or away.

Out of hours
Enhanced access - Evening and weekend appointments
We provide evening and weekend appointments outside of our normal opening hours. You can request these by contacting the surgery.
Life threatening
Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- you or someone you know needs immediate help
- you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Urgent but not life threatening
Visit an urgent care centre if:
- You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention
Non-urgent
Use NHS 111 if:
- You need help now, but it’s not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
Help during your appointment
When you request an appointment, please tell us if you need specific help, for example:
- If you cannot come to the surgery
- If you need an interpreter
- Or if you have any other access or communication needs
How we review your request
Your care and safety are our first priority. We carefully review all requests and will get back to you during surgery opening hours.
We use the information you give us to decide:
- How quickly we need to see you
- The best person to help you
- Whether an in-person appointment is the best option
In this way, we make sure that the people who need our help the most, get it first. Please do tell us if you feel that you need an appointment urgently. You should also tell us if you need any special help during your appointment.
Please also tell us if there's a specific health professional you want to speak to. We'll do our best to fulfil your request. Please bear in mind there might be a longer wait if the person you've asked for is fully booked or away.
