If your need is not urgent, you are offered the first available appointment with your preferred doctor.
We use an emergency triage system for urgent appointments. The receptionist will ask for brief details of your problem and a telephone number where you can be contacted by the emergency duty nurse or doctor, who will telephone you. Depending on your need, you will be offered one of the following:
• an appointment with the emergency doctor that day
• an appointment with a nurse practitioner or practice nurse that day
• advice on treatment at home
• the first available appointment with your preferred doctor
If you cannot keep an appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer it to someone else.
