Preference of Practitioner

Patients are registered with the Practice and not an individual GP. For administrative reasons your medical card will be issued in the name of one of the doctors: however, you can at any time express a preference for a particular doctor, for either your medical needs or on a case by case basis. However, not all the doctors in the Practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

How to see the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner

All consultations for the Doctor are by appointment only, but we will see you as soon as possible if you have an urgent problem. To make an appointment you can either contact the receptionist on 01224 651132 or you can call in at the Practice.
