The reception area is open from 8.30 am to 6.30 pm Monday to Friday. We are closed at weekends and on all public holidays.

We have extended our opening hours. On Mondays, and Tuesdays a few routine appointments are available with a GP from 7am. There are also appointments available on Mondays between 6.30 and 7.30pm. Please note that nurse appointments are not available, and the reception telephone will not be on.

Out of Hours
If you or your family need urgent medical care when the surgery is closed, please phone the usual daytime telephone number (9858822) and your call will be re-directed to the out-of-hours service.

Telephone Advice
The best time to call the surgery for advice is after morning clinics, usually between 11.30 and 12 noon. If the doctor you wish to speak to is still busy they will call you back, provided you leave a phone number, preferably a land line. 

Registration

The surgery is able to accept new patients at present. 

Training

Every two months the practice will be closed on  a Tuesday afternoon to allow protected staff training time. We need to  do this to keep up with changes and developments which affect the practice.  On these afternoons the phones will be switched off for up to five hours, reception may be closed, and any urgent needs will be directed to the out of hours service

The next dates are February 14th and 28th
