Book an appointment online
If you need to see your GP, then you can book an appointment online using our online system. Our appointments are booked at 10-minute intervals.
How to book an appointment
As of 31/10/2023, we are introducing a new triage/consultation service. Please submit an online request via Anima. If you do not have the means to make an online request, please phone 404743 during surgery hours to make an appointment. Should you wish for a chaperone to be present for your consultation please let us know when you make your appointment.
We offer check-ups for all new patients and for health promotion, including smoking cessation. Currently all appointments for our Nursing Team, including blood tests are made by either telephone to the surgery on 404743, or by following a self-book link, if you are sent one.
In order to provide a personal continuous service and develop a relationship the GPs operate a personal list system. This means you will normally see the GP with whom you are registered, except in the cases of emergency or GPs absence when you will see the Duty Doctor.
You are now able to book routine appointments with your GP up to 6 weeks in advance. Appointments are booked at 10 minute intervals. If urgent medical attention is required on the day please contact the surgery at 8am for an appointment slot that morning.
Our GP partners operate personal lists to help with continuity of care, however, we also have a number of salaried GPs based in the practice along with 3 advanced nurse practitioners who see patients routinely.
