Book a new patient appointment
When booking your appointment, choose New Patient - Standard Appointment. As a new patient to our practice, it is important for your GP to have an understanding of your past medical history. Choosing this appointment type will allow your GP the appropriate amount of time longer for your first consultation.
If you have a complex or significant medical history, your doctor may wish to access a copy of your medical record from your previous medical practice.
Medical files can be transferred between practices when patients move. Your previous practice will be able to tell you if there is a transfer fee.

How to book
Consultations with the Doctors at our practices are by appointment. We do our best to accommodate walk-in patients.
Let us know if you would like help choosing the right doctor for your needs. All evidence suggests that communication between a doctor and patient is improved when a good relationship exists between the two. We recognise it is not always possible to see the same doctor, so our system of recording notes takes this into account. You can read more about the providers in our rooms on the Provider pages. You can also visit doctors at either one of our practices as we have a shared patient database.
A standard consultation is 10 minutes. A standard appointment can be booked online. Patients with appointments will have preference over walk-ins, except in emergencies.
An appointment for a standard consultation should be made with your preferred doctor for your continuity of care or the next available doctor. Please ensure you advise our receptionist if you prefer a particular doctor or require urgent attention for matters such as chest pain, burns or an eye injury, for example.
If your consultation is for a cervical screening, skin excision, medical investigation, or you have multiple issues, you will need longer than a standard appointment.
Longer consultations can only be booked by phoning our Reception team. This ensures the appropriate appointment length can be allocated to your doctor. If you have booked incorrectly, your doctor may ask you to book an additional appointment to attend the practice another time.
Let us know if your concern is urgent. Urgent medical matters will always be dealt with promptly and we will do our best to work with the providers in our rooms to accommodate your needs.
In a medical emergency, call 000 and ask for an ambulance.
If your appointment is no longer required, please tell us as soon as possible so your provider can allocate the appointment to another patient. You are able to cancel your appointment via our online booking system or phone the practice.

Specialist Referrals
A consultation with a doctor must happen before a referral to a specialist. Doctors are unable to backdate referrals, they must be dated when the letter was written with the patient present. Before attending a specialist appointment, please check with their reception team to see if new referral is required for the visit. Please allow adequate time to get the referral prior to the specialist appointment.
Repeat Prescriptions
For prescriptions, your doctor will typically provide enough medication to last until you are due for your next review. The providers in our rooms do not issue prescriptions without seeing the patient unless prior arrangement has been made. A fee may apply if a script is requested without consultation.
recallS + REMINDERS
You may receive health reminders by SMS which require you to provide your surname and date of birth to identify yourself before the message will open. You will be able to click a link and book an appointment online from there if you wish. Let us know if you would like to opt out of SMS reminders and we can phone you or send a letter instead.
Medical Certificates
Medical certificates are legal documents and are only issued if you present for consultation. As is the case for referrals, the providers are unable to backdate them.
Results
It is our practice policy that an appointment is needed to obtain your results unless your doctor has indicated otherwise. We do not give out results over the phone as we cannot identify you and the doctor is likely to need allocated time to start further investigation, provide prescriptions and answer any questions you may have.
Depending on your result your doctor may use our secure texting system to let you know your results are okay OR they may ask a nurse to ring you, or ring you themselves. They should make it clear to you when you obtain your referral/request when you should re-book.
Our reception team can only share limited information and this is why we discourage patients phoning the practice to ask if their results are back. Due to privacy laws we are unable to give information to other persons without your permission. Please speak to our Reception team if you would like to discuss this further.
